| I am on the cusp of buying an A3 AUG. I am debating which optic is best at this point. I would appreciate the opinion of those who have an A3 with optics mounted. Thanks. |

I'm considering a Trijicon TA-31HG (IIRC, that's the nomenclature - green with the horseshoe reticle) or the TA-33 with the similar reticle, also in green. MSAR Dave said he prefers the -33, though he didn't say why. The only difference I see between the optics, other than magnification, is that the -33 has a slightly smaller objective and slightly better eye relief and exit pupil.

I have an Aug A3 with a T1 in the Larue HK mount. ITs ideal for this rifle. Takes up little rail space.
I frankly don't see the attraction of a HUGE 1.5 power rail covered optic. If it wasn't "steyr" noone would look at it twice. For the money you could get a trijicon 1-4 which would me a much more capable scope and a larue mount. That will be my next set up for this rifle... when the 20 inch barreles arrive. |
