Switched from a 16" barrel back to the OG 20" and had to rezero. View through optic is at 100 (berm on left is at 50). Ammo is RUAG 69gr Swiss P match






Almost dialed in (on older these older AUGs the turrets don't click so the adjustments are mostly by feel)



Done!



How to aim/range find with the reticle (it's a combat sight, not really for precision)

Nice shooting. Been looking at getting an AUG. I'm not a fan of the factory optic. But to each his own.

Can you buy these aftermarket and attach to an AUG that doesn’t have a scope or red dot?

If only that came with illumination horseshoe red dot in the old Swarovski Cobra line

Pretty sure Swarovski no longer makes the Cobra scope and the originals were not detachable
ACOG TA44 circle dot would be better anyway should say more useful.

all new AUGs are flat tops w/o an optic by default. there are removable factory 1.5x/3x available

This is the optic that I was referring to. I'm definitely getting the extended rail w/o optic version.https://www.gunbroker.com/item/957799906

This.  OG AUG is very cool IMO

Had 2 different AUGs with the Sweep ski Doughnut of Death reticles. One was a green stocked 20" rifle. The other was a black stocked 16". Sold both back during the Clinton Ban for ridiculous money.

Have a flat top AUG with LPVO and love the set up.

Really wish I still had the 16" AUG back.

of the factory optics I'd go for the 3x if I were buying an AUG today

An interesting thing with this setup is that the 20" barrel shoots 8" low and 3" right compared to the 16" barrel with the same ammo. You would think that the extra velocity would mean it shot higher. Maybe a harmonics thing?

I'd do the long rail, red dot and magnifier.

Damn good shooting with that type sight.

Nice work.

Carter’s has gotten much better since the old man passed.

The real Austrian made AUGs are by far my favorite bullpups. Wish we could still get those CHF chrome lined Austrian bbls. Nice groups BTW.

I opted for a NATO AUG and put a holographic sight on it.  Im really happy with it as a cqb rifle.

New Aug owner.

It weighs a good pound + more than a similar barrel profiled 16 inch AR15 carbine.

Feels good though. Balances right over the grip.

I've never understood why IMi, Zastava, and a bunch of other companies can import guns with CHF, chrome lined barrels but Steyr Austria isn't allowed to
