Who has a x95......Accuracy, what is the deal

Shoots like a tavor accuracy wise from what I've seen on the forums here. Controls are in a better spot they probably make it cheaper because they learned how to cut corners from the tav/tar 21 and they most likely have some parts comparability or compatible. It's like an improved tavor as far as I can tell with even better ergonomics less heavy trigger. It's a battle rifle so if your getting 2-4 Moa your winning. What are you planning on doing with it? Its not a bench rest gun it never will be. The only complaint I've read is people where mad about the non idf charging handle. Ps I have only handled a x95 I own a tar 21. The biggest advantage factory supported caliber conversions for 9mm and 300 black out so you can hunt with it. You can also change out the bottom lower grip that doesn't have to have an ugly polymer monstrously with a bulky thick plastic trigger guard. This in turn might save some weight if you swap it out. What bad reports have you read ?
Just was researching how well it shoot with 55gr and wow lots of people pulling big groups. Just wondering if there is an issue with the rifle. I can live with a rifle that pulls a two inch group at a hundred used primarily for predator control and eventually with 300 black out for deer so not looking for a bench gun but a good handy truck gun.
So need for a tack driver.....

I have tried an original tavor and it just did not work for me even put a few hundred rounds through neighbors tavor.....Just could get into it.....But as soon as I picked up a x95 wow what a difference mag release in different spot. Incredible how much of a difference it made I liked it so much I put a deposit down on one on the spot....
It's sweet it's shorter then most restricted carbines only it's got a full length barrel. it's not to heavy so you can carry it has qd sling points so you don't even need to carry it just sling her over your shoulder. If you want a tighter group you will need a better trigger the geissle trigger pack with lightning bow will add about 600-700 bucks but I'm sure you could get it to 2 moa with decent ammo and 55 grain surplus ammo is not decent for accuracy. It's a plinking round, so unless you wanna spend the money for good ammo or a better trigger group it' going to be what it is. If you check out the range reports I think people shooting the 62 grain xm855 where getting like 2.5 moa on a stock x95, and a crate of 1600 isn't a bad price right now. The shooting center had some last time I was there which was 3 days ago.
If anything besides AR manual of arms all feel alien to you, the x95 is your bullpup savior.
There are more people anecdotally reporting their original Tavor shooting tighter groups (ask mikethebike), and there seem to be several YouTube channels anecdotally reported 3-4 MOAs. None of these are scientific.
From what I can tell, these civvies semiauto guns are mostly for ninja plinking at relative close ranges, so whether it does 2 MOA or 3 MOA from a lead sled doesn't really matter imho. As long as you're not trying to win any shinny SR cups with it. I don't think I will feel short changed plinking at steel and paper running between 100 and 10 yards.
I personally just quite like the look of the Tavor with the RPM frontend, and since I have a range of stuff that do not follow the AR controls, I am able to appreciate and like the Tavor mag release. I drive both sticks and auto. I will look to get a used x95 when their price come down a bit inevitably, I didn't see any amazing initial introductory deals.

Good video, too bad most people have been brain washed to think that buying triggers and barrels magically makes you shoot better. I have yet to see anyone post a range report of before an after a trigger upgrade showing groups improve after the trigger.
Even when I had my Tavor with it's 12+ pound trigger I could still make half ass groups, it wasn't as accurate as my ACR but it excelled in other areas like compact package and offhand shooting, it's all about what you practice with and what you are comfortable with. I did have a little adjustment period when switching back and forth between an AR and the Tavor but it only took a few shots to get used to the trigger again.
What are these negative reports about the X95? If people think that it's a negative that it shoots the same as a Tavor and for $3000 it should shoot sub moa then those people should just go back to their hunting rifles and forget about black rifles, you will never be satisfied if you think that sub moa performance is going to happen with any black rifle shooting cheap ammo. There are very few rifles that can do it with premium ammo so forget about it and realize what the rifle was designed to be. These are based on battle rifles and a 4 moa group is considered very acceptable. Some do better some do worse but that doesn't make one rifle better than another, there are too many factors to consider and too many uses to say one is better than another based solely on it's accuracy potential shooting off a bench, they all do some stuff well and sacrifice somewhere else. The number one factor should be reliability then depending on your intended use maybe second would be accuracy, or maybe compactness for CQB type shooting, or maybe light weight but still fairly accurate for 3-gun or service rifle. There are simply too many different shooting styles to just own one rifle and think it will be great for everything.

reid my idol
if you are a 2 moa shooter, does it really matter if the rifle cannot shoot under 2 moa?
if you put a 2 moa dot on a rifle does it really matter if the rifle cannot shoot undr 2 moa?
if you shoot crap ammo that groups 4 moa does it really matter that the rifle cannot shoot 2 moa?
Dude when I go to VFAG they must be at least 24 tables, and im usually the only one shooting standing...lol...And im the one who gets weird looks. LoL... SMH
Anyways hitting the bush tomorrow for some 3 gun style shooting. Can't wait to blast 500 rounds thru the X95
So 2 MOA dot 4 MOA gun 6 MOA shooter. Ill be lucky to hit my target standing.... LMFAO

standing i can hit my 6 inch plates at 80 yards consistently with an unmagnified aimpoint2 moa dot, but i have to do my part
standing with my acogs its so easy its not even fun anymore
That video is retarded. While I generally agree that you cannot buy marksmanship skills (exception being training), the notion that items like triggers, barrels, ammo etc. cannot aid with the development of those skills is complete nonsense.
The size of the reticle or sight has no bearing on how the rifle shoots, it's only affect if any, is the rifleman's ability for repeatability, and therefore may or may not be a limiter depending on their employment of marksmanship principles.
This is why 'flyers' aren't and 3 rounds is a good start to a group.
If you want to get better than 2moa it matters.

It's all cumulative. Your 2moa shooter + 2moa gun + 4moa ammo is 8moa. 8moa is a pretty decent sized target, and a pretty decent spread to tell the shooter what is happening with their shooting, especially if they are shooting at a target that is smaller than their capability.

Huh???
The accuracy potential (or lack thereof) of all of the factors respecting rounds on target (shooter, ammo, firearm) is added together to give you the practical accuracy of the system. It represents the outside extent of that potential.
If you are capable of a 2 moa hold and you hold dead center of the bull, it means when you yank on the trigger your shot has the ability to plot anywhere within a 2 moa circle of the bull.
If your gun is capable of 2moa, that 2moa circle is added to the extent of that first 2moa circle, and likewise with the ammo potential.
Of course a group shot within those parameters could be less than that, but that 8moa is the extreme extent.

Its the most honest Video Ive seen in a while.
Just when thru 1000 rounds today, and sighted in 3 Aimpoints and not once was a bench involved or needed.
X95 performed flawlessly ( 300 rounds ) with all kinds of drills, not once did it malfunction. Even found a blown primer inside of it while cleaning it tonight.
I would say it was 4 MOA at best, but the steel kept ringing and I kept shooting. Man size hit at 200 yards all day long. dont know what more someone would want out of this rifle ?
