IWI Tavor X95 XB16L | 5.56 NATO | 16.5 in | Left Hand

The IWI Tavor X95 XB16L is a left‑hand bullpup carbine configured for 5.56 NATO with a 16.5″ chrome‑lined, cold hammer‑forged barrel and a 30‑round polymer magazine. The X95 updates the original Tavor SAR with a refined fire control pack, relocated charging handle and AR‑style magazine release, while retaining a reinforced polymer bullpup chassis with a full‑length Picatinny top rail. For an optic under $1,000 that matches the X95’s close‑to‑mid‑range role, consider a Vortex Strike Eagle 1‑6×24 as a durable, all‑purpose red dot/low‑power variable option.
