I've went from Aimpoint T1 Micro to ACOG, to this -
I wanted magnification on the Tavor, but the Aimpoint T1's dot turns into a slash when its viewed thru a magnifier (No - its not a vision issue).........the ACOG sat too low........ Keep in mind- the Tavor's rail is on the same level as your cheek, so optics that would co-witness 1/3rd on an AR, are actually going to co-witness absolute on a Tavor.........AR optics that co-witness absolute, are going to sit too low on a Tavor. Thus far, I've been extremely happy with this setup. Unlike a 1-4x scope, I can take the magnifier off via the QD mount, and just run the EOTech, if I know I don't want/need magnification. Tried an ACOG with RMR, and the ACOG sat too low, and the RMR sat too high to use. Also - the BUIS also cowitness perfectly with this setup, and flip up with no issues.

From what I can tell, the "absolute co-witness height" for the Tavor is about the same as "lower 1/3 co-witness height" for an AR.
I say this because I made the mistake of using AR-absolute-cowitness-height optics and found them just a bit uncomfortable to use... and then when I mounted up my Eotech 553, it felt like it was just _made_ for the rifle. Speaking of which, I'm running the 553 for now, but will probably shift over to a Mepro optic later on. |

I've switched from an Aimpoint micro ( discontinued R1) in a GG&G to a Trijicon SRS for general arsing about.
I find dot acquisition with the SRS much quicker than the Micro, but the SRS is a chunky little fucker....That said it feels pretty indestructible. If I'm at the range doing groups I'll switch out to a TA33 Acog or 1-4 GSCR scope. 
Otherwise one of the EXP eotechs looks like a good choice. |

I tried an Aimpoint T1 Micro on mine and didn't like it. It gave a weird glare that I didn't have using it on other rifles. I switched to an Eotech and it worked fine, but neded some magnification. I ended up putting an old Leupold CQT on it and really like the setup. You lose cowitness to the iron sights, but with the rugged construction I likely won't need them.

If you are not afraid of adding a couple lbs to the Tavor the Elcan Specter Dr is a damn good optic. It's heavy weight & cost wise.

I've tried a bunch of sights on mine. Right now I'm using a Mepro 21 and like it a lot. It looks funky with a 3x magnifier. I also liked it with an Eotech, I had the 512 on it. I may put a 556 (I think that's the one) on it later when I own one
I wish they had a MOR with a class 1 IR, I'd be all over that!
I originally had the Mepro on it but went to an indoor range and did not like the sights one bit... Because how much darker inside the range was. I gave up on it. But tried the sight later outside and it was a huge difference. Just be aware of that if you choose a M21. I would add that accessory that amplifies the M21 indoors... Can't remember what it's called(dang TBI). |

The WOR is very interesting. How well does it to work? I had a M21 on my first Tavor, sold it due to too much washout and now both are wearing T1 micros and haven't looked back. I also have a TA31 ACOG but to be honest, I haven't tried it on the Tavor as in my experience its first and foremost a CQB rifle and I can get hits at 300m with a RD.....so why bother with magnification IMHO.

All the info on this here, Israel made so it seems appropriate. I obviously have not used one since they are coming on a few weeks but early testers say they are good. I have tried a bunch of different sights from a simple mini red dot to an SRS. I really want a Elcan DR but I'll have to sell a guitar or two and another amp to pay for it. |

I had an Eotech XPS 2-0 but felt that it was a tad too heavy and threw off the balance of the rifle. I would go with something light like a micro red dot with a high mount.

Tried a Micro, M3 an older TR21 and a TA33. ended up using either the SRS02 or the GCRS 1-6 for a variable. Both are in Bobros so once zeroed, going back and forth is quick and dependable. contenders:
