I’d go with the Carmel personally. I trust an IWI product more than a smaller independent manufacturer. Carmel was made to compete for a military contract, so it should be well engineered. Seems to basically be an X95 reverted from a bullpup to standard configuration. From what I’ve seen on CGN makasi is already giving me WK-180 or BCL Siberian flashbacks.
