Iwi Us Tavor T7B16 7 308 16.5 20R Blk
The IWI US Tavor 7 is a fully ambidextrous 7.62 NATO bullpup rifle built for shooters who demand reliability, ergonomics, and serious versatility. If you've run an AR platform and want to explore a modern bullpup design—or you're already familiar with IWI's Tavor platform and ready to step up to rifle caliber—the Tavor 7 delivers the accuracy and controls you expect from a military-proven design, now in 308 Winchester (7.62x51mm). With its 16.5-inch hammer-forged chrome-lined barrel, compact 26.75-inch overall length, and 9-pound weight, this rifle is at home on the range, in the field, or as a tactical platform.
Built on IWI's evolutionary approach to the bullpup concept, the Tavor 7 incorporates what the company learned from military and civilian feedback. The fully ambidextrous layout means the charging handle, safety, magazine release, and bolt catch all switch sides easily—no gunsmith required. The magazine release and safety lever mirror the X95, so if you're already familiar with IWI's platform, you'll find the controls intuitive. The 45-degree ambidextrous safety and M4-type magazine release keep operation smooth for both right and left-handed shooters.
The mechanical foundation is serious: a short-stroke gas piston with a 4-position gas regulator (including an OFF position for suppressed fire or specialized operations) and a rotating bolt system designed for safety and reliability. The reinforced polymer body keeps the rifle light without sacrificing durability, while the M-LOK fore-end and Picatinny rails at 12 and 6 o'clock give you plenty of real estate for optics, lights, and other gear. The rifle ships with a 20-round magazine and handles LR/SR25 pattern magazines. With a 1:12 twist barrel and 4-groove rifling, the Tavor 7 is built to shoot.
Whether you're looking for a compact 7.62 NATO rifle for long-range work, a backup designated marksman platform, or simply want to experience one of the most ergonomic bullpup designs on the market, the Tavor 7 deserves a hard look.
