I’ll try to keep this short.  Wolf Gold 55 grn. Aug and Colt had AimPoint Pros. Galil Vortex Spitfire 3x . Gen 2 I think.  Shot at 100 yards.  10 round groups . Shot with  a front rest. Shouldered the rear. 5 seconds between shots. Also sweat in eyes.  My first Aug group was tainted. The lighter feeling trigger had me pull a couple. I shot  the Aug 3 separate times.  The other two rifles just once. The second time I shot AUG I clicked the dot brightness up one. It gave me a little star burst. I also had the worst group like that . So I shot it one more time with  it lowered to a tiny dot . No star burst.  In the end it finished like I thought it would.  Colt , Aug , Galil.  In fairness I only shot the Colt once.  Colt has a Larue 2S trigger. Nothing scientific.  Just having fun.  Colts spread was about 3”.   Aug was  3 1/4  . Galil was 4-41/4 with a 3x.  It did tell me I want to put an Acog on the Aug.  Now the hard part of picking one !!!!

Good Data and appreciate the 10 shot group!

Note, you may want to wait a bit more than 5 seconds between shots for grouping, as well.  5 Seconds isn't enough to really reduce heat buildup in the barrel to reduce Point of Aim Shift.  Also a front and rear rest really helps out.

Colt SOCOMs always produce good results.  I'm not sure why, but it has been a consistent experience with those I've used.

Yeah after I posted I thought Dern , them really ain’t any good groups.  I know 10 shot
Groups can give you  no room for error.  My aiming anyway.  I have front rest and rear bags. I will use that next time.

Was the VFG on the AUG up or down?

I had it folded up. Laid it in my v block front rest.

For my best results, I found grip down and untouched, and gun resting on main pistol grip on a small bag, with support hand on rear stock bottom, worked best for me.  

I have found that folded grips (and bipods) can bounce and throw shots.  

Or I just am seeing something not there, but thats how it seems to work for me.
