Jerry Miculek reviews the Tavor SAR (YouTube video)

[hollohas]

I just thank it's great that a guy who most likey has put more lead downrange in his life than most of the members on this site combined can still have so much fun shooting that it makes him giggle like a little girl. He truly seems like a great guy.

Why does he say don't try this at home? Is there one thing he does that he shouldn't be encouraging people to do? We need more shooters. Not more people watching shows about people shooting.

Have you priced ammo lately? lulz

ugh did anyone watch his final thoughts? does he realize its a 16.5" barrel? he says out to 200 yards and itll probably lose out to normal sized rifles. does he think its an sbr or something?

He made reference to that a little more earlier. the impression I got was that he didn't feel it was well suited for bipod setups for longer range.

Reminds me of hickok45 with the giggling

ok but you can easily shoot out to 400-500 yards without a bipod, heck even without a scope with some practice.

Jerry, Kay and Lena (their daughter) really ARE great people. I have been fortunate enough to shoot several matches with them and Jerry is funny, an amazing shooter and has great integrity as well. While there are some other more highly "marketed" female shooters, Kay is the Queen and Lena is rising to the top pretty quick. The recent videos at Miculek.com have some great information to help your shooting too.

What will be telling is if he runs it at the 3GN pro match.

That's what I was thinking: we'll know what he really thinks if it shows up in his competition shooting.

I wonder how much 'retraining' this rifle would require?

He could be referring to actual rifle length AR's, where it would be at a disadvantage to them (sight radius). I don't know the sight radius of the Tavor, but it's possible it may even be shorter than a 16" carbine.

No, the short overall length makes it pivot very easily in close work. This short overall length also applies to distance shooting as a longer weapon is easier to control muzzle movements which should help with longer distance accuracy.

Shorter guns are more suited to CQB and longer rifles are more suited to distance accuracy for some reason. ;-)
