Currently have a vortex 5x prism on mine... but the eyebox is "meh". Posting pics is encouraged!

These were my options. I went with the Aimpoint.
For me, it works better with the charging handle.  Attached File |

On my old one I had a ACOG TA11 which was great.
Thinking of throwing either a EOTECH EXPS or Vortex AMG G2 on my current one. |

I run a Trijicon TA44 on my personal semiauto AUG, and an EOTECH 512 on the full auto shop gun.
I like the Eotech for the hige field of view so you have situational awareness when shooting on full auto. Sven Manticore Arms |

I liked the Holosun 510c I had on mine for awhile but ended up going with a Burris RT-6. Love the 1x for heads up and the magnification for longer range.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have a TA31 RCO on mine. It's like a match made in heaven, IMHO. ACOG is aesthetically pleasing on the A3, and they're still a solid optic choice despite their limitations. I got the Corvus Defensio 35-slot MLOK rail to swap onto this A3 (with the ACOG mounting interface machined into it) but I haven't swapped the rail yet. On my other AUG I've got the factory A2 Swarovski 1.5x optic and I like that very much. I'll have to see how closely the ACOG reticle BDC matches my 24" LMG barrel. Probably won't be close. |

Steiner P4Xi 1-4x (pre price increase). Steiner with the Manticore mount adds approximately 1 pound more than the factory 3x optic that came with the rifle. But for that 1 extra pound I get all the benefits of a quality LPVO plus a built-in red dot.

Leupold 1.5-4X20 is the finest, lightest option made for the AUG.
MOA reticle. 30mm, heavy and over 4X do not belong on the AUG. |

 Attached FileMy favorite optic so far it has been this Primary Arms 3x Micro Prism. Even though I don't particularly like chevron reticles. I think it would be perfect optic with a 1moa center dot instead the chevron. I just have a hell of a time zeroing chevrons. |

Otherwise bye bye knuckles.. I like the Burris MTAC. The MTAC has a lighted red dot circle cross hair thingy with 10 settings with zero power inbetween each setting. You can see the cross hair circle dot perfectly no power. The AUG is so accurate it's really worthy of a good scope instead of an LPVO or red dot.  Attached File |
