CZ Scorpion vs IWI x95

[UZIAR15]

Hello Everyone
I started my journey in this sport from CZ 75 SP01 Shadow and extremely happy with it. now thinking to get my first Rifle I am a person of smaller stature, hence length of the overall firearm is important to me. I looked at many ARs and looking at IWI x95 with the ability to convert from 5.56 to 9mm than came across CZ Scorpion which is almost 1/2 price with same 9mm caliber. Seeking advice from more experienced enthusiasts as originally I was thinking to have one 9mm handgun, a 5.56 rifle and a pump action shotgun to slowly progress in the sport one firearm category at a time. Too many goodies too little budget so can not have multiple hand guns or rifles or shotguns

If your original plan is to get a 9mm, a .223/5.56 and a shotgun, it looks like you're getting ready for some 3Gun or run and gun fun.
My personal choice is the AR. You can always move the adjustable stock back and forth to accommodate your LOP and sight picture for your smaller stature. If you like the X95, then go for it! The CZ is still incoming so you'll be waiting for a bit. ( I personally can't wait for something if I really want it!) and it's in 9mm and .40 ( I think?) At least you can satisfy your 5.56 desire and compete with the X95 and get a conversion kit for 9mm when you want. The CZ ( and SIG MPX) limits you to pistol calibers.

May I suggest the original Tavor (TAR-21)

X95 is still very new, even used ones are selling for close to retail at the moment

You can find a gently used TAR 21 for around $1,800 on the EE here and will most likely come with some nifty extras. This, plus the purchase of an optic and 1,000 rounds of 5.56 will put you at the price of a bare X95

Looking at just slightly larger body than the X95, and price point of just the rifle will be in the middle between the Evo and X95

Unless money is no object, then buy whatever you want!

Thanks guys I appreciate your responses. I like the TAR21 idea wondering if x95 conversation kit will fit TAR. Reason for having that option is my club is an indoor club and only lets you shoot pistol caliber. But I visit other club to have TDSA courses so having 5.56/9 option is very attractive.

How tall are you you and how long are your arms? Do you have good upper body strength? Do you have small hands or big hands? Short fingers or long fingers.

Overall length is important, but the length of pull plays a role tool. If you are not strong, you will need to use shooting techniques that use less muscle and more body structure. A 6ft 200lb guy can square up and gun a 10lb rifle like a SMG, but it is not an option for a small guy to do the same thing.

In general, I will not recommend a TAVOR or X95 if you are a very small guy. They are short in OAL, but the LOP is long and fixed. They are also not exactly "light". They work better with people of at least a size "M" hand. To control the X95, you do need to square up a bit more to get that 'body triangle" because it has a long LOP and short hand guard.

I will say an AR15 will be a better fit for you if you are learning to shoot a "rifle". Your light bulb will go on faster of what a rifle (and you) can really do.

How do IDF girls use them then? I met Orin at Shot and she's tiny.

But really I just wanted to post IDF girl pics.
