I got an X95. It seemed nice at first but I took it to a minuteman course and realized it would not suit my needs.
S&W 15-22 so much fun to shoot. Had to pick up the version with the dot as it was all they had, and I didn't want to wait. Even the wife likes shooting it. Only came with one mag, I've ordered 3 more since MidwayUSA has free shipping right now.

I guess I'm not a fan of the red dot. I put one on my VP9 and it just didn't feel right. Iron sights work everytime. Also, took off the laser/flashlight. These accessories look cool. I'm more of function over form. I'm guessing that's why you got the Glock.Any G43x enjoyers? Got mine few weeks ago from one of the local gun stores, still thinking if I want to slap a red dot on it or leave as is.

Ah that's too bad. I have one of the original Tavor SARs and man I love that thing. I've only shot it at the range and at a rifle class several years ago, but it's been great. I love the balance of it so much, it's just easier for me to hold up on target for longer. I do gotta say it's heavy though, which is too bad. I need to lighten mine up a bit still; put a smaller flashlight on it and I think I'm gonna sell the IR laser/illuminator on it in favor of just a simple IR illuminator device.I got an X95.

Only main complaint on it, besides the weight not being very good, is the bolt hold-open device. It's such a chinsy little plastic crap part, and is just awkward to use. I think they upgraded the bolt hold-open mechanism on the X95 but on the original I do not care for it.
Didn't realize they made those; it does look pretty nice. I haven't really had a problem with the stock charging handle though. Though I have taken that area of the rifle apart as I was going to switch the charging handle sides at one point, and I remember that piece that the long skinny rod connects to is another little plastic cheap part (like part #16/35 here: https://imgs.search.brave.com/tjMPR.../ZGlhZ3JhbS9sYXJn/ZS9LV0FfVEEyMV9N/YWluLmpwZw). I guess it's fine for that situation but man that thing seems weak and prone to breaking.If you can find one, this is worth it's weight in gold.. https://gearheadworks.com/product/tavor-folding-charging-handle/ It's one of the first things I replaced on my SAR. I did go overboard from there (you can find pics somewhere in this tread) and replaced a lot more but love the rifle a lot
A new pest control item I picked up. I put a 3-9x UTG on it. I only got outside to try a few as it is now dark. The thing kicks harder than my Ruger 10-22, and it takes a bit of muscle to cock. I'll sight it in tomorrow for about 35 yards, I have some heavier pellets coming from Amazon to hopefully keep it subsonic.

I love the Marlin. A friend of mine has the Henry lever rifle in 45-70, the stainless one, and honestly, it seems like it is more punishing to shoot than the Marlin. Plus, the Henry only holds four rounds vs the six that the Marlin holds. It's a great gun and so much fun to shoot. Yeah, ammo is expensive though.I've so far managed to suppress my intrusive thoughts that I need one of those by arguing that I don't want to have to worry about another caliber and my Henry X in .357 is cheaper to shoot.
