On behalf of every normal dude out here that just wants to make shit go bang, thank you.

    I bought a Tavor 7, and did not really want an AR, but IWI seduced me with price and quality, so I bought a Zion-16, I replaced the fore end, grip, stock, trigger, and charging handle, and it's now a truly boss light-weight AR. Love the military quality and that nice thick barrel. A true SHTF AR.

      @@AlphaTactics If you are looking for a .308 battle rifle with military dependability, great ergonamics, and smooth shooting then the Tavor 7 is it. It's my #1 SHTF rifle and replaced my HK91 in that role. It is a bit heavy, but the weight is in the rear, making it easy to hold up. I upgraded with the rubber butt pad, ditched the "saber" grip for the more normal one, and put a foregrip on it. I also bought a POF Rogue for a much lighter .308 alternative, but the Tavor 7 is still my go-to. Check out the Military Arms Channel's #1 battle rifle pick for a great overview of why it's so great in the role. $2000 well spent. Good luck, my friend!

    • @universeconsciouscitizensc592
      @universeconsciouscitizensc592 9 місяців тому +2

      @@AlphaTactics No need for a 20" on a battle rifle, although at one time I was interested. It adds weight, but not enough improved accuracy to make it worth it. I settled on the Primary arms SLx 3x green "dot" microprism. I tried a 1-8 LPVO, but I prefer non-fiddly and tough, which the SLx series are. And if one runs out of batteries, they still work un-illuminated.

    Good little review, I'm looking to pick one of these up!
    I think there might be an issue with your video exporting. Looks like you may be shooting in 1080p and you are exporting the video in 1080i. That is why the video has that stripe pattern called "interlacing" artifacts. Even your intro graphic has them, so it's definitely an export issue.
    Also, make sure the camera is recording in the same format you plan to export content in. There seems to be video frames missing. Double-check that the camera is recording and you are exporting in 1080p/30fps at least, but I think 1080p/60fps is better. You can also choose 4k as well.
    Cheers ya'll!

Turned it into a purpose built hunting rifle for varmints and white tails. Could not recommend it enough

    I'm still looking for one where I live. Nobody wants to ship it to NJ. Had to settle on the Ruger MPR 556 with the 16" barrel. I've put around 2000 rounds of all sorts of different ammo and haven't had a single hiccup and it's been very accurate. The mid length gas system makes it a real soft shooter. Even though it's got a lot of the same features, I'm still on the look out for a Zion 15.
