Both good choices. I said Tavor because it is battle tested and also a bit cheaper. Plus I have actually shot a Tavor. I have not yet been able to shoot the MDR, so can't speak as knowledgably on that gun.dawgfishboy wrote:Over DT's MDR?Soccerdad1995 wrote:I'll recommend the Tavor

Re: US Amry wants to bring back the Battle Rifle
Dumb question here, but are our soldiers currently issued rifles with optics attached? I ask because when I got out in 1991 we just had iron sights on our rifles and I had a heck of a time reliably hitting even the 300 yard targets on the range. Then again, I was not the best marksman out there. Probably somewhere near the middle of the pack.Pariah3j wrote:Not quite sure why the basic rifleman needs weapons designed to engage targets beyond 500yrds - because the M16/M4/5.56 can accurately and easily do that range without a problem. Modern Infantry hasn't engaged at ranges much greater then this - at least not the standard infantryman. In fact its mainly been street/urban fighting mostly - and that doesn't look to change anytime soon for any future conflicts.Consequently, the Army wants to enable the rifleman to accurately engage targets at a further range than the current 5.56mm

I'll recommend the Tavor
