Looking for a modern sporting rifle that doesn’t compromise on performance? The IWI Tavor X95 XB18 in 5.56 NATO delivers. This bullpup design shrinks the overall length down to 27 inches, while still providing the benefits of an 18-inch barrel for good velocity, especially important when you’re making longer shots out in the Trans-Pecos or practicing at the range. It’s a solid rifle for varmint hunting, and gives you a compact option for defensive uses.

Features
- 18-Inch Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel: That extra barrel length adds around 100-150 fps with typical 77-grain loads, which can make a difference on longer shots you might take during hog hunting.
- Gas-Piston System: This system keeps the action cleaner, meaning less time spent scrubbing carbon buildup and more time putting rounds downrange. It’s beneficial for anyone putting a lot of rounds through their rifle at the range.
- Integrated Iron Sights: The Tavor comes with folding backup sights, with a tritium front post – good to go even when the sun goes down.
- Picatinny Rail: A full-length Picatinny rail provides plenty of space for mounting optics and accessories.
- AR Magazine Compatibility: No need to buy proprietary magazines. Use the AR mags you already have on hand.
Who is this rifle for?
This rifle fits a lot of needs. It’s a good choice for competition shooters who want a compact rifle without sacrificing barrel length for velocity. It’s also a solid option for anyone looking for a durable, reliable rifle for home defense or ranch work where a shorter overall length is an advantage.
Things to keep in mind
- Trigger: The factory trigger pull is a two-stage pull with some take-up. It’s functional, but many shooters prefer to upgrade it with an aftermarket trigger.
