Pimp your AUG with a Steyr Scope
Steyr Arms is now importing the original AUG A3 scope. The scope has a magnification of 1.5x and an objective aperture of 14mm.
On their website Steyr state that it has a “Crosshair/crosshair” reticle. I think this is a typo. I doubt they would have changed it from the military circle / crosshair configuration. The circle is sized so that a man sized object fits inside it at at 300 meters. UPDATE: Steyr have confirmed that it is indeed a circle/crosshair reticle.

It is not cheap at $799, but is probably as tough as nails.
UPDATE: Steyr have told me that Swarovski Optik no longer make their scopes.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Does someone make an iron site you can mount on the rail on the scope? (Just kidding) That looks really odd.
A longer top mounted rail will be available as an accessory later this year, as well as other add-ons. Keep checking their web site, www.steyrarms.com.
