New toy
Figured I get a new weapon to play with. Shot it in Israel and rather liked it.

Thank you.
I used Aimpoint PRO but my experience was limited - I enjoyed the maneuverability of the weapon but as I say my time was limited. Some magnification may be needed by me past 100 yds that's why I inquired.

Based on your avatar and your mentoring, I can't fathom how you'd like it. Your wind reading, range estimating, ballistics calculating, coriolis adjusting, spin-drift ignoring aptitude all go to waste with that platform

frostfire - it's a toy and no longer had a 5.56 fun platform.

I have no problem with it. I like the feel and balance. I have used them in the past.

I will probably do a drop in yes. But these style rifles are not for accuracy, just getting rounds on target ASAP.

What's the twist? Are you sticking with 55gr?

Had the pleasure of playing with the X95 today. Holee-sweet-cheese-and-crackers, the trigger feels night and day better than the Tavor. The bolt lock and mag release ergonomics also get solid improvements. Very tempted to shell the $$$ with mil discount now.
On a side note, between the promotional videos and today, I am convinced one has to have solid weapon handling, instructing, and beautiful to boot to work as rep for IWI. I pretended it was my "first time" so the purdy instructor spent more 1:1 time with me going over the Israeli six points of contact method
