IWI US Expert's Corner: Tavor X95 vs Tavor SAR

[@griffithd05]

I may be one of the few that prefers the original magazine release...

[@anemonaloco]

the original wasn't a bad idea. it would be cool if IWI could have both options on the next rifle.

[@Colonel1Bravo]

I prefer the original as well

[@codycox2685]

me too

[@thomasalibrando7278]

A lot like the old release

[@Trooper599]

The old release is far superior to the AR type mag release. If you get any crud in your rifle that impedes the bar that attaches between the mag release button and the magwell, good luck getting your mag out. The trigger on the SAR was right where it needed to be.

[@Colonel1Bravo]

I have bought 3 SAR21’s and 1 Tavor 7. Never messed with an X95 and no regrets. I like the ones I have just the way they are. Plus 2 galil ace’s. IWI fan no doubt.

[@shevetlevi2821]

Kol hakevod Colonel!

[@chiefqueef5096]

Respectable

[@CarlosDangerTheThird]

I almost asked you why do you have four bullpup rifles…then I remembered I have eight AR-15 platform rifles making my question stupid

[@sheldonjplanktonn]

​@@CarlosDangerTheThird- that's pretty funny

[@ckim6400]

I prefer my SAR over the X 95. Great to know I can use the X 95 trigger pack in my SAR!

[@Doublezzranch]

There's a video on KZbin about removing a trigger return spring & it'll reduce the trigger pull weight. I did it to mine & it worked great. It's still a fairly heavy trigger (not a hair trigger) but much better than it was.

[@Lemurai]

So glad they came up with the x95, I really wanted to like the SAR but there was just too much that stopped just short of the finish line. They didn’t bring out the x95 I would have simply done without.

[@JohnZ556]

It's funny to see how many people on the Internet claim they still prefer the SAR, but almost none give actual objective reasons(besides SAR is just slightly more accurate), and most of them already own SAR but have never used an X95 yet. X95 SBR over the SAR all day long. Any task if X95 can't do well, SAR won't be much better either.

[@Dan-oo7bq]

Love my sar 21. Would like an x95 but would rather wait until the Tavor 7 in .308 is out!

[@James-Lifts]

Oh man I got the Tavor 7 in 308 16.5” barrel and I got an x95 in 556 with an 18.5” barrel and I understand why you wanted to wait!!!!!

[@elcaminante29]

Thanks for this great concise comparison!

[@gentugo]

I have both and I love both.

[@Doublezzranch]

NO EXCEPTION DECISION : You have to grab ONLY one to (fight zombies) which one do you take? Only one.

[@snowlothar45]

Moving the mag release just created a problem as the Inrange mud test found out. Adding several inches of linkage and more complexity just adds problems. Just learn to run the SAR and happiness will be yours.

[@JohnZ556]

That was a very extreme and somewhat random test(mud consistency, composition, amount, location, etc.) By your logic, the mag release on the SAR can be easily bumped, we should also ditch the AR mag release because it can be frozen in place. But then, AK still didn't do well in the same serie of tests. The advantage of AR-like control is huge, esp for something as awkward as bullpups are. And I don't think IDF will take a less reliable rifle. Plus don't you know in such an extreme case you still can just push the mag latch itself on X95 to release the mag? This alone defeated the point you're trying to make.

[@insanity4082]

The original mag release location on the SAR is terrible. The X95 mag release is superior.

[@daven953]

Eh, i dont agree but you do you.​@insanity4082

[@Scottyman99]

A blend of the SAR and X95 would be nice.

[@rubenreyesjr7868]

What a great video thank you for the information I do like the rifle and I'm going to buy me one

[@_SKDK_]

You're going to replace the trigger to a geissele with either rifle. The real difference between the two is that the x95 has the AR mag release and the SAR has better accuracy according to owners. Alot of people including KZbin have done accuracy tests with the x95 and it's supposedly not as good and no one knows why. The charging handles are also in different locations but that doesn't make one better over the other as both will require training of muscles memory since they're different from traditional ARs. Neither handles are completely ambi because it's an either/or situation unlike the desert tech MDR where it doesn't matter what side.

[@tommyguns4018]

i have tested both myself and they both are about the same. 1.8 moa with x tach ammo consistently. better with siera heavy bullet. all factory ammo. both factory triggers. tested over 3 separate trips. once with a red dot and others were 1-4 steiner. have not retested with new triggers. a geisselle and a timney, but will soon.

[@erik.hansen]

All the guts are the same, can't even see how there would be a difference in accuracy...

[@kevinwilson9589]

Bought the X95 and love it. Only gripe is it should have come with the pistol grip standard with cutlass optional or included. It seems most people prefer the pistol grip because it's the part that IWI is out of stock on. Only option is non factory aftermarket for a pretty expensive rifle.

[@starkmarshall231]

I subscribe because of her great presentation

[@geezlepuss7863]

The SAR has a front hand guard which can be replaced with a RatWorx suppressor, built in -- cheap & no can sticking out the front of the barrel. The RatWorx suppressor does NOT fit the X-95, which I found out to my sorrow. The RatWorx advertisement did not mention it only works with the SAR.

[@theseekerndestroyer]

I’m happy with either one

[@leverman7517]

need a Tar Podium Quick Deployment Bipod for x95

[@Glockalot]

Do the caliber Change out kits work for both model guns?

[@stonemichaels1774]

Well, I have an X 95 in OD green and I love it. I haven't shot the SAR, but it sounds like they're both winners. For me, they're much too alike to buy both.

[@theseekerndestroyer]

Damn that girl is hot

[@physicspointanalysis123]

Good performance 👌👌 God bless you

[@nileshsmith6282]

Hi I just recently purchased a 95X. It came in black which was a disappointment casue I wanted od green. The question is does IWI recommend cerakoting a rifle to change color?

[@ayushchoubey635]

Never knew that some parts on these rifles were interchangeable

[@donhosbf]

I like my SARs. I played with the X95 when they first came out. Didnt like it.

[@pippupaladin]

I really wish you'd make a "traditional" grip for the SAR too

[@dennisdunne588]

I think the big improvements are the trigger group and the fore grip options. SO I can buy a trigger group ($200) a d modify the foregrip for little $$$

[@sharingiscaring9320]

I like my SAR X95 trigger pack.

[@sudilos1172]

Hey guys, idk if this is another freebie or a request. But I love the P90 *hear me out*. I was going to buy your Tavor as a truck gun. But the grip and the bag were out of my spec needs. Could you please design one replacing the grip and trigger guard into a P90 style rather than a pistol grip style? That would be amazing for me. TY.

[@TheGearhead222]

Per IWI, I replaced my SAR-1 TG as it would not cycle with the X95 TG. Kinda sad for an $1800.00 gun, IMHO-John in Texas

[@irafowlerjr.7492]

thank you big help.

[@Armanmalik1F]

Nice gun

[@localguy8]

can one get a x95 Trigger pack and install in a Sar ,

[@localguy8]

never mind i found the answer a few comments belor

[@jonathanhouser8194]

You guys need to make the Tavor 7 version in a 5.56.

[@paladin3116]

why 7.62 is better

[@danigreatprogresslana570]

[@danigreatprogresslana570]

Thank

[@bozscaggzz7475]

I just purchased one in 5.56. Do I really need to purchase another bolt? All of iwi advertising says fully ambidextrous. I will be so upset if I can't switch it out of the box.

[@bozscaggzz7475]

@Don't Tread On Me The x95 is not ambidextrous. I contacted IWI and the only way to have it left handed was to send it back to IWI and have them install a new bolt. Cost me $150 for parts and labor.

[@rickhunter6479]

I like the sar better

[@danspaghetti2797]

Have both and have got the moa in my x95 same with my sar…..most these guys complaining about accuracy cant even shoot a pistol at 25yrd with any kind of moa…the x95 is def easier and smooth but it was definitely prob the Americanization that did that….

[@akradr]

Now if they would just add an adjustable gas system.......

[@anemonaloco]

they did it! deck the X95 300 blk version.

[@erik.hansen]

NATO is the easier and cheaper ammo so kinda trading an inconvenience for a convenience.

[@FT4Freedom]

It just doesn't make sense to put a traditional mag release on a bullpup. That was outside of form fits function. And it doesn't.

[@anthonyfezio1223]

I am hearing that the extractor is weak and causes jams. Will I void my warranting I retplace it with a better one

[@PLT-dq3dd]

Same experience here. I am going to replace OEM with O ring and colt spring. I experience FTE every time I train with mine.

[@PLT-dq3dd]

If you are tired of smashing your face down to get proper sight picture get a 1.94" height mount. No it will not co witness with the built in BUIS. The poorly designed rail height only magnifies the accuracy issue. If IWI designed the rail to match common height mounts would be great. They never will though because they make videos about ergonomics and $200 trigger packs for a rifle designed for fighting/ self defense.

[@delta3two]

PLT 2081 I have two X95s. Both have aftermarket rails allowing proper sight picture. Agree with all you wrote.

[@PLT-dq3dd]

What aftermarket rail and buis did you install?

[@anthonyfezio1223]

@@PLT-dq3dd I have heard that it will fix the problem

the barrel looks thicker on the X95 !!

[@NKMaru1987]

You look good Love you

[@NorscaWolves]

The SAR model is a piece of art, the x95 seems like an Americanization of it because they can't handle something not being what they're used to. SAR for the win

[@moglyz9911]

IMO. x95 when it come to the looks and functions are just better than the SAR

[@alcodie1558]

The X95 would win hands down if the had the same accuracy as the SAR . But it doesn't and that sucks big time because I wanted one right up until I learned that from a MAC vid .

[@dwightpatch4441]

i remember heard that. floating barrel.

[@shevetlevi2821]

With slow fire I can hold about a 2.5 inch group at 100 yds with iron sights on my SAR. This was beyond what I expected from a bullpup.
