Some thoughts on the Tavor 7

I bought an IWI Tavor 7 with 20″ barrel a few months ago. It was one of those embarrassing “this bid on Gunbroker could never win” moments, but I have to admit, I was sort of happy I did. I was an early adopter of the US version of the Tavor SAR, and it continues to be one of my favorite oddball rifles.

External Focus Lens for the RovyVon GL4 Pro Available

If you’re like me, and in love with the RovyVon GL4 Pro, but think the IR illuminator just doesn’t throw far enough, Villain Weapon Systems and Cold Harbour Supply have just what you’re looking for: an External Focus Lens for the RovyVon GL4 Pro/XL/FP.

As you can see, it clamps on to the illuminator head, which means that it’s probably not going to be compatible with holsters (and thus not much of a pistol solution). However, if you’re running a GL4 Pro/XL/FP on a PCC or similar, this is going to be a game changer for the IR illuminator. The photos on the CHS website show a marked reduction in flood and increase in throw, much like the EFL for the VIR II has. It’s not necessarily a super clean IR illuminator spotlight, but it’ll do the trick.

The price is $132 USD, which is not cheap, but for a 4-in-1 solution, a GL4 Pro+EFL is still cheaper than any other option. Remember that you can use the XVL2’s remote switch with the GL4 Pro to improve the control scheme with rifles/PCCs.
