Steyr AUG A3 Optics Suggestions

'88Scrat · June 24, 2021, 09:11 PM

Title pretty well sums it up. Purchased a new AUG with extended rail and am looking for input on optics.

And.... GO!

I had a Micro-tech copy of the AUG. I ran an Eo-Tech and loved it. These guns are not long range target guns. The triggers are not exactly “match grade” so…..

I was thinking an LPVO might be nice.

Sorry so late to the party!

My AUG started off with a TA110 that I bought on a whim and got rid of almost as fast (heavy pig lol), then switched to my favorite ACOG, TA33 GH riding in a Bobro QD Mount (the lightest of this particular bunch, but heavy compared to my TA44C), but now it wears a TR24G in an Aero Mount (total weight of optic and mount is 17 oz.). In spite of being a tad bit heavier than the TA33 setup, it just works out much better for my needs. Here’s a few pics:

Elcan Specter DR 1/4
Perfect match for a 16" AUG
Gives you fast and close plus range
Some will claim that it is "way too heavy"
But it's similar to other red dot & magnifier combos
Every bit as tough as the AUG itself and should last a lifetime

I've also run an EOTech + magnifier combo which works well
