I also find it strange that the IDF are using M4 profile for their match barrel. I would've think they gone with heavy match barrels. Yeah it's heavy but it does provide better heat sink and accuracy. I prefer 18" or 20" barrel if I were to use my AR as a primary designated marksman/sniper roll with fix stock. I use to like bipod but over years I found them to be counterproductive. They add too much weight and make the rifle front end heavy while shooting off hand.
