IWI Tavor X95 XB18 | 5.56 NATO Bullpup

The IWI Tavor X95 (XB18) is a modern bullpup rifle built around a flat-top chassis and full-length Picatinny rail for optics and accessories. It ships with adjustable folding backup sights, an ambidextrous control layout, and a modular pistol grip/trigger pack derived from the Tavor line. The X95 is chambered for 5.56 NATO and is designed for compact handling without sacrificing accessory capacity; a mid-power red dot or low-power variable optic such as a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 pairs well and falls well under $1,000. Typical applications include tactical-style competition and mid-range target work.
