Trying To Decide On Next Rifle

[new_bayu_shooter]

The title was going to say trying to decide on my last rifle but we all know how that goes.

So I am trying to decide on my next rifle, I don't want to buy or build another plain jane AR-15, I own one AK. Just got a PSA Jakl. Looking at one of the below. Which is more rare/unique and would be more of a collectible years down the line or go up in value and which is just plain cooler?

Im looking at:

1) IWI Carmel (these look really good)
2) Springfield Hellion (like what Ive seen on these but I really need to hold one first to see how I like bullpups)
3) Robinson XCR
4) Sig 556 (really like these for some reason)
5) tavor X95

I’m struggling too. Bren2, Sig LT, or WBP 556 Ak and a pioneer 556 Ak. Two Jakl’s…imports are more tempting because of future bans and value.

So that should push the IWI Carmel, Tavor and Sig 556 ahead of the rest.

Get an original Belgian made FAL

Hated my Tavor and sold it. Bull pups are not my favorite cup of tea. They just don’t feel right and the triggers all suck, inherently of course, due to the linkage requirement. The only exception for me is the Steyr Aug. I did the trigger job on mine and it’s definitely a more friendly bullpup.
That being said, the hellion likely wouldn’t make the cut for me, but I haven’t touched one. Someone mentioned the CZ Bren 2 MS. That’s a fine rifle. I have touched that one and I almost couldn’t put it down.

Already sent my Carmel back for recall and they adjusted my stock so I don’t have to slam it open. It’s a great suppressor host. So many choices. Imports are top of my list. I have enough mil spec toys. Just which ones???

I saw a video on the Bren MS 2 by Nutinfancy basically it fell apart when shot. Made me not want to even consider it, the reason I didn't add it to this list.

I agree on imports. Wait is the Robinson an import?

LMT defense monolithic rail platforms have served me well. I like swapping out barrels and also that the scope theoretically stays well zeroed.

I always favored the Aug for bullpups but it's only due to them being in a lot of video games I've played. I heard their triggers aren't the best so my vote is the Tavor.

I own 4 of the 5 you listed

1) IWI Carmel (these look really good)
3) Robinson XCR
4) Sig 556 (really like these for some reason)
5) tavor X95

The sig 556 is likely the best out of these, design wise. It really is an ak, but an ak if it was perfected by the swiss. It is simple, well made and does not have any superfluous bits. It is an older design, but holds up well.

I do like the xcr, if you want a ak/ar hybrid with the best of both it is a great choice. Build quality is high and it is quite modular for calibers and barrel lengths, etc.

the x95 is a noticeable upgrade from the sar 21, as far as ergos and the forward mag release. I would say it is the best bet if you want a bullpup, I have a few other bullpups and the x95 really seems to be the most dialed in. Plus it is a military design, so it has had some real world testing.

I have a carmel, but have not shot it yet. It is a bit new to have any sort of track record. I like it, but time will tell if it is good or not.

Mine has a difficult to latch open stock. Was there a specific recall on this? Or something else?

Another vote for the Sig 556 here
