The IWI Tavor X95 delivers compact firepower with full-size rifle performance in a proven bullpup configuration. This 5.56 NATO chambered rifle combines the reliability of Israeli military engineering with civilian-friendly features for tactical applications and sport shooting.
What Makes This Different
The bullpup design places the action behind the trigger, creating an 18.5-inch barrel in an overall length of just 26.125 inches. This configuration provides rifle-length ballistics with carbine maneuverability. The ambidextrous controls and ejection system adapt to both right and left-handed shooters without modification. Cold hammer-forged barrel construction delivers consistent accuracy while maintaining the lightweight profile that made the Tavor platform legendary.
