Tavor vs Hellion

[georgeib]

Tavor length of pull is pretty long as well. Kind of goes hand in hand with a bullpen design.

True. The Tavor really doesn't feel too bad though. That's why I was wondering how the Hellion was.

Probably should have kept that thought to myself. I am also interested how they compare.

I decided to buy my first bullpup about a month ago and looked at both (along with the AUG)...one of the reasons I went with the Tavor over the Hellion was the LOP. I didn't measure them side-by-side, but the Hellion LOP was noticably longer and more unwieldy to me. The addition of a Manticore butt pad on the X95 makes even more of a difference.

Edit: Noticed you're in North AL. If you're near Hunstville, Larry's on 231 has all three (at least they did a few weeks ago) hanging on the wall if you're interested and want to compare.

My son has a Tavor, which is why I said LOP is pretty long on them. His has been 100% reliable.

Between the AUG X95 and Hellion the X95 does have the best length of pull for most people.

If only somebody would make a Hellion with X95 length of pull, mag release, bolt release, and selector.

My Tavor 7 is my favorite rifle. I'm not tall, and LOP would fit me better if 1/2 to an inch less, but the benefits outweigh this minor issue.

The controls are great. Pull-and-raise bolt hold-open like an HK, ambi 45-degree selector, AR-type ambi mag release, good sling mounting, trigger guard options, 4 pos. gas regulator, 16 & 20 inch barrel options, (user changeable), reliable and it just handles great.

Looks like the IDF is buy a bunch more X95s.
