Is it a Steyr A1 (integral 1.5-power scope with the circle reticle) or an A2 (you supply the scope) or an A3 (US-made, you supply the scope).
A few years back (pre-AW ban) I had an A1 AUG. I found it accurate (within reason. I never actually measured a group, but I'd call them "minute-of-human"),but seldom had a chance to shoot much beyond 100 yards. Steyr offered an optional (for more cash than I was willing to spend) reticle upgrade to fine crosshairs inside the coarse "donut". I think either that or a GOOD (no cheapies!) scope on an A2 or A3 would be signifcantly more accurate at the longer ranges.
Of course, a lot will depend on the quality of ammo you use and range conditions.
