Carmel, mostly cuz it was actually designed as a military rifle, and by a company with a lotta experience and street cred making reliable, durable, military small arms. Meanwhile the Makasi was made as a civilian rifle from the ground up by a fairly new company with no military contracts.

Try not to be put off by how the Carmel looks largely polymer. Its metal underneath where it matters. the Tavor and Bren are also heavily polymer, well respected, and people were paying 3k+ for those.

edit: grammar
