Looking at getting an optic for my Tavor. Have used a micro dot before, and liked it, but want to consider other options.
What are you guys using? Any pics? Thanks |

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 put one of the special "Brownells" edition Eotech EXPS2s on my Tavor in the gun store parking lot.

EoTech...516 on mine (I prefer the EoTech models with the taller sight bases.) |

I just got a EoTech EXPS3-2 yesterday to replace a Bushnell 1-4 AR223 scope temporarily on it. Took awhile to decide on that route. I'll try and get a pic up. |

I wish I could justify shelling out the $900-$1000 for a MOR... it would definitely be my first choice.

Mepro works well with the platform. I like mine and will continue using it.

I am with airborne-ranger. going with the eotech exps and 3x magnifier.

That is some beautiful country in the back round with your Tavor! Is that where you go shooting at? |

I have a Trijicon Tripower using an American Defense extra high QD mount. I tried the regular AR height base (high) but it required me to squish my cheek into the stock to use
|
|
Has no one tried anything like a trijicon accu point 1-4 or a vortex viper pst 1-4 or a leather wood cmr 1-4 or a Burris MTAC ?

I just picked up an Aimpoint Comp ML3 to put on my Tavor when it arrives. I'll post pictures when I have everything in hand.

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). |

Right now the only optic I've tried on mine is an Eotech EXPS2-2. I like it, but I'm still gonna try a few others to see if there is some thing I like better.

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.
