Tavor X95 - Accuracy Potential

[Jarvy]

The same form factors that make the X95 excel in shooting from practical and dynamic positions also makes it a bit of a pain to shoot from a bench. It's not the most comfortable thing to try to finagle into any sort of rest, and from a design standpoint if the engineers had to choose between accuracy or reliability when determining the tolerences of a component, they chose reliability every time.

That said, it's reasonably capable. Here's a 10-round group using a stock rifle, PMC M193 and a 3x Prism and maximum effort from the shooter. I was quite pleased with this result, but you might not be.

Exactly this. What app is that?

For whatever reason, all the X95s I've shot or been around seem to like 55gr and 62gr ammo better than the heavy match ammo (68/69 & 75/77) which is kinda weird, considering the twist rate and general lack of consistency in FMJs but it is what it is...

Use the X95 as a carbine. Off hand etc. Lots of fun with a red dot. Haven’t tested mine for accuracy. It’s more of a. Shooter ready? BEEP! pop pop gun!

If you want an accurate moa or less non restricted semi. Then get a SL8.

Yes 100% my experience as well. Even cheaper ammo like bulk FMJ BT works great at 55gr. Not sure why, but very consistent with this ammo. Can ping my range's gong at 300m very consistently even on the cheap stuff. FWIW this is good enough for me. Going sub-MOA seems like a wild goose chase and also not the point of this rifle.

So I am considering the X95 as my "Purchase of the Year" for 2025. There are some threads out there that state you can get 1.0 - 1.25 MOA with a trigger upgrade and taking the time to find the load recipe that fits. Is this something that is attainable or would I be wasting my time trying to attain this level of accuracy from this rifle?

It's already been said but if your goal is an accurate (1MOA) gas gun in 5.56 that takes AR mags, your sole option is to BUILD a Raven (or Crypto if you drop the mag requirement).

It's still not cheap. I built a Raven with a Criterion 20" barrel that came in just under 4K and it shoots barely sub-MOA with very good ammo. With bulk ammo it's around 1.5. One minute accuracy with a semi is never a budget option.
