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.
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.
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.
There's a video on UA-cam 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 UA-cam 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.
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.
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.
@@dwightpatch4441 Really nothing besides slight more accuracy and/or personal taste on the look. I would choose the X95 SBR version, which is the real(minus full-auto) X95. A 22" overall w/ 13" barrel reliable long-stroke piston 5.56 bullpup, that has AR-like controls and is super fast to reload. The best bullpup available today. I know, VHS-2, 28" OAL, strange safety and bolt release, no manual hold open, not as fast mag release. But I still want one.
@zombieericharris105 Love it, very accurate and very ambi. The gas setting is very useful for suppressed use. I easily got over the trigger and the controls, shot sub-moa to under 2moa on wood bench out door. Will consider upgrading the safety lever and/or the trigger.
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.
They’re both the same length. Same weight at 7.9lbs so the only real difference is the trigger pull and mag release and you can switch out the trigger anyway. Just of accuracy and esthetics, I’d prefer the SAR.
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.
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 $$$
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.
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?
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.
@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.
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….
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.
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
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 .
@@shevetlevi2821 I should have bought one when I had the chance . AR15's are now prohibited in Canada . Can't use them can't sell them and they want us to turn them in , in 2 years . And seen as they where restricted they were registered , so they know who has them !!
@@alcodie1558 That does suck. It's a cautionary tale of what a Biden/ Democrat America could look like. Praying for a Trumpslide on Nov. 3rd and hope that you get the government that you deserve. Good luck at the next round of elections.
I may be one of the few that prefers the original magazine release...
the original wasn't a bad idea. it would be cool if IWI could have both options on the next rifle.
I prefer the original as well
me too
A lot like the old release

Respectable
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
@@CarlosDangerTheThird- that's pretty funny

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

All the guts are the same, can't even see how there would be a difference in accuracy...
Love my sar 21. Would like an x95 but would rather wait until the Tavor 7 in .308 is out!
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!!!!!
I have both and I love both.
NO EXCEPTION DECISION : You have to grab ONLY one to (fight zombies) which one do you take? Only one.
Thanks for this great concise comparison!
A blend of the SAR and X95 would be nice.
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.
Still love my SAR and would still choose it over the X95 if I had to do it all over again
why?

If you don't have plans for a can, do X95 SBR. And change spring if you finally have a can.

I’m happy with either one
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
Do the caliber Change out kits work for both model guns?
I like my SARs. I played with the X95 when they first came out. Didnt like it.
I subscribe because of her great presentation
I really wish you'd make a "traditional" grip for the SAR too
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?
Never knew that some parts on these rifles were interchangeable
I like my SAR X95 trigger pack.
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.

can one get a x95 Trigger pack and install in a Sar ,
never mind i found the answer a few comments belor
Good performance 👌👌 God bless you
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.
You guys need to make the Tavor 7 version in a 5.56.
why 7.62 is better
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….
I love them
thank you big help.
i love you & i have respect for U Am From #ETHIOPIA
I like the sar better
Nice gun
Now if they would just add an adjustable gas system.......
they did it! deck the X95 300 blk version.
NATO is the easier and cheaper ammo so kinda trading an inconvenience for a convenience.
I am hearing that the extractor is weak and causes jams. Will I void my warranting I retplace it with a better one
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 2081 I have two X95s. Both have aftermarket rails allowing proper sight picture. Agree with all you wrote.
What aftermarket rail and buis did you install?
@@PLT-dq3dd I have heard that it will fix the problem
Damn that girl is hot
I’d rather have the original also. Great weapon, especially overseas…

i remember heard that. floating barrel.
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.

You look good
Love you
Sometimes you have to just leave things alone as 5hey were
First time women reviewing guns
You've been living under a rock...
Steyr AUG far better then Tavor,.. thumbs up for Styer AUG.
SAR is better looking and original design not some Americanized bs.
X95 is way better in my opinion.
Still a minute of fat boy accuracy.
The girl is more cute than gun my focus is on her beauties
Yeah, I was a bit distracted too. Didn't notice the gun as much.
Jai hind.
Jai bhole ki
way too much makeup
You are referring to yourself?
yeah i agree i think she would be hotter with less.
I'd still smash.
Or you know, just buy an AUG (the king of the bullpups) ;)
I fail to see anything the aug does better than the Tavor for the civilian market. Quick change barrels in a semi auto?
