TAVOR X95 OPTIC FAQ
What's The Best Place To Mount The Optic On X95?
Optic to eye distance is different based on the shooters' need.
For magnifier users please slightly move the optic forward to give magnifier mounting space.
How To Tweak Optic Height Issues On The X95?
Most IWI X95 shooters have to scrunch down on their cheeks to be centered with the optic, and it's not very comfortable.
Here are some Tavor X95 accessories you can try:
A raised optic height slightly more than a 1/3 co-witness height is the best for regular shooting or shooting with night vision goggles. We recommend trying out the Unity Tactical FAST mount or the Scalarworks LEAP 1.93 height mount to bring the optic up a little more.
If you have maxed out the height using a mount, then we recommend adding a mount riser.
