Iwi Us Tavor Xb18 X95 5.56 18 30R Blk
The IWI US Tavor X95 in 5.56 NATO is a modern bullpup rifle that brings proven Israeli-designed ergonomics and reliability to the American shooter. This 18-inch-barrel variant splits the difference between maneuverability and velocity—short enough to handle tight spaces and vehicle work, long enough to maintain effective range for hunting or defensive applications. The gas-piston operating system is known for its reliability across diverse conditions, and the 5.56 NATO chambering feeds standard commercial ammunition, making practice and hunting rounds accessible. With a 30-round magazine capacity, a 1:7 right-hand twist barrel, and a compact overall length of 27.625 inches, the X95 is at home in a truck, at the range, or in the field.
Bullpup design enthusiasts will appreciate the X95's ergonomic controls and sightline placement. The rifle ships with back-up iron sights (BUIS) featuring a tritium front post, so you're ready to go straight out of the box—no need to source and mount optics immediately if you don't want to. The 1/2 x 28 muzzle thread accepts standard suppressors and brakes, giving you flexibility for noise reduction or recoil management. At 8.20 pounds, it's a handy carbine-weight platform that doesn't fatigue during a longer day of shooting.
The X95's polymer construction keeps weight down without sacrificing durability, and the black finish is professional and low-key. Whether you're a bullpup devotee, a fan of the IWI platform, or simply looking for a compact, reliable 5.56 semi-auto rifle for hunting or range work, the Tavor X95 delivers function and familiarity in a design trusted by professional users worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Tavor X95 good for hunting?
Yes. The 5.56 NATO chambering is suitable for varmint and medium game hunting at practical ranges, and the 18-inch barrel provides decent velocity for field work. The compact size makes it ideal if you hunt from a vehicle or in brushy terrain where a shorter rifle is advantageous.
Can I mount an optic on the Tavor X95?
The X95 comes with tritium back-up iron sights, but it is designed to accept optics. Standard mounting solutions are available separately; check with the manufacturer or a gunsmith for current compatible rail systems and mounts.
What ammunition does the Tavor X95 use?
The rifle is chambered in 5.56 NATO, which is one of the most widely available rifle cartridges in the United States. Standard commercial 5.56 ammunition from any major manufacturer will work.
Can I suppress the Tavor X95?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 1/2 x 28, which is the standard thread pitch for 5.56 suppressors and other muzzle devices. You can attach a suppressor, flash hider, or muzzle brake directly to the barrel threads.
