Damn, I just love the tavor's look.

The Indian Special Forces are in love with Tavor since the day it was inducted in their inventories because of it's sheer accuracy,ruggedness and maintenance free nature.Over and all an awesome A.R.(probably the best at present) designed by the IMI.Anyway,the Indian Special Forces are slowly replacing their MARS sight with the new Mepro Light because of the longevity of the battery of the latter one.
