Next purchase, Tavor 7, Galil Ace 308, or cheap AK and Ruger precision rifle .308

Quandry over which rifle/rifles to get next.

Should I get a Ruger Precision Gen 2 in .308 and a $700-800 AK-47

or

Should I get a TAVOR 7 in 308 or Galil ACE rifle in .308

I currently don't have anything in .308. I have a Kriss Vector pistol in .45 a Sig MPX pistol in 9mm and AR (of course) and a badass AR-15 specially made in .50 beowulf. I want something new to shoot. 90% of the time I am at an indoor range, 10% outdoor range. This will not be a home defense option as I have far better choices. All opinions are welcome. Just have $1500-$1800 and have an itch for new toys.

I’d go with the RPR in 6.5 Creedmoor and some good glass if you have access to a suitable long (1000 yd) range to use it at.

Seems to be a bad link.

Are you giving yourself any money toward optics? A RPR will need good glass.

"...90% of the time I am at an indoor range..." You need handguns, not rifles. Go join an NRA affiliated club and shoot bullseye with a handgun. .22 and centre fire. Belonging to a shooting club opens doors you don't even know are there.
An NRA affiliated club will probably run High Power rifle matches too. Shoot with the big kids at 300 plus yards.

TAVOR 7 in 308

Out of the choices you provided, I'd choose the .308 Tavor, but I haven't seen any for sale to date. I have a K&M .308 bullpup which is exceptional quality - I would expect the tavor to be sub $2,000.

A big question you should probably ask is..... What is the use of the new gun?

Hunting?

Self defense?

Paper punching?

Each choice may deliver a different rifle
