If your focus is on civilian economics, RDB.
If your focus is on military ruggedness, x95 imo.
interesting. I had a tar 21 and lost the same pin on the bolt
Best bang for the buck if you can afford it. Type 97 is a viable option if you're tight for money, but an X95 is way more than twice as good of a rifle.
i have shot the tavor before and thought that the t97 was enough then i owned a t21 and that was it: especially for the left shooter im ...
Happy NEW Gun Day for me today. Just picked up a X95 in .223, been wanting one for a while, finally did it. Just looking for advice on extra mags. Which brands work well, which should I avoid. Only have the one included with the gun. 30 rounders pinned at 5 would be my preference (not crimped), but whatever feeds reliably is most important. Also, do you know who is selling your recommendation? Thanks in advance.
i like elander on mine coming for the same place-location as the rifle.

Do Gen 3 PMags work properly in a X95?

The x95 is actually chambered in 5.56. For bench shooting at the range I prefer 10 round flush mags. You'll find the 30 round mags are kind of in the way of the bench. It's fine for off hand shooting and the Israli's actually rely on the 30 round mag as a point of contact (1 of 6). Any Stanag 30 round mag will work well, don't overthink it.

X95 is probably the most reliable platform on the face of this planet and I'm not even saying that facetiously.
The Ws on the other hand was made for Canadian civilian Shooters explicitly by a low budget company with equally low budget parts by comparison.
if you can find a t21 that is another alternative to consider.
I have only ever experienced the X95 to run flawlessly. Definitely would be my choice.
Same here. Seems to take pretty much any mag and doesn't need fancy ammo.
Yup, and you don't even have to clean it...I can run as much Winchester white box through it, not clean it and it functions flawlessly. Use LAR15 mags with mine.
Only thing of note I notice with mine (and apparently others have reported similar) is that upon case ejection it consistently puts a small dent in the brass casing. I suspect that is due to how aggressively it flings the spent casing and it's probably hitting a part of the ejector port on the way out.
