Questions for Tavor Owners
Do any of you use after market BUIS or do you use the ones that are already on the Tavor?

Have any SAR owners replaced them with an X95?

I have the magpul flip-ups instead of using the integrated Tavor sights. they flip up faster.

I have a SAR at the moment. I had the X95 but liked the SAR better simply because I was more used to it, I think.

Thanks PorterN. I was thinking the same thing regarding the quicker deployment of the sights. That's why I asked. Also hoping to see what sights other owners prefer. I have a spare set of Magpuls laying around somewhere.

I haven’t replaced the factory iron sights on either my SAR or X95. They are simply emergency backups for my optic and are adequate for that role. Don’t see the need to spend more money for something that I’ll rarely use and already exists on the gun.

I'm with Dwill on this one.

I have a SAR. The built-in BUIS are reasonable to shoot with, and I have enough confidence in the Aimpoint T-2 on the rifle that I'm not terribly worried about optimizing BUIS deployment speed.

I handled an X95 and preferred the SAR, although I know that isn't a popular opinion.

I had a set lying around as well, so I tossed them on the gun. I probably wouldn't have bought something more for the gun, like Dwill and Maladat have noted. but they were in the parts bin so I tossed them on the SAR.

I’ve thought about putting that manticore rail on the gun that replaces the factory plastic hand guard and top rail with a metal one. Only thing holding me back is that I really like the built in sights, it’s a slick set up and the front post is tritium. One nice thing about the manticore setup is that it rises the optic up just enough that you don’t have to scrunch your head down on the rifle so much

I use the OEM sights it came with no issues, but of course as backups. I don't understand the above comment, if the optic is to low, just buy a higher mount. What am I missing in this?

Because the irons are still too low, I like to shoot with both. It’s not a huge deal but it is a little annoying

If ever needed, I just use the factory iron sights.

Factory are good enough for the IDF and good enough for me.
