As they say, the heart wants what the heart wants.
Both of my pups, side by side harmoniously together just as they will work in the future. 
Just one with the AUG by itself. It is a 3.0x scope and I ordered it through Pete. Both Pete and Steyr direct can make your AUG to come with LH Bolt as opposed to a RH bolt so you don't have to pay the extra fee for the LH bolt if you don't need a RH one to begin with.

LOL! Very cute Lazyengineer. I took the AUG to the range today. I was using Wolf Steel cased ammo and kept having failures every 1-2 rounds so I changed it to adverse settings and it ran very smoothly. I must admit though, when shooting I can feel the flames from the flash hider in my hand holding the forward grip. It was great to shoot and I'm really looking forward to getting a new reflex sight. It was only a 25 yard range but I zeroed it in just above the point of aim, should I go back and put it under the point of aim for a 50 yard zero? |

Shoot dead on zero at 50 yards, and you should have pretty close to a decent general purpose zero, and be zero'd for 200 yards. At 25 yards, you should be hitting about 1.5" below your aiming point.

I am trying to remember, was it the top or right that I need to turn?? Also, which direction do I turn it? |

Thank you for the info. I was hitting about 1.5" high so I will need to bring it down. I don't know much about scopes. I am trying to remember, was it the top or right that I need to turn?? Also, which direction do I turn it? Quoted:

High means "higher". 
So if that were my rifle, I would bring it down about 3" at 25 yards. Each click is 1/4 inch at 25 yrs, so I would bring it down 12 clicks. Note there are no audible "clicks", it's a very subtle feel/indent that occurs as you twist it, and you only barely twist it to get to each next click. Note here by the way that after I zero'd my AUG how I wanted it, I marked a small dot on the housing for reference, to match up with the white dot on the dial. (DON'T do that yet, until you confirm on paper this is where you want it). |
Unfortunately, I don't have a bull pup photo to share with the group. With the CT AWB, the only way I can get one now is to buy a pre-ban, and I just cant justify the cost (since I already have two gun safes full of guns ).
However, I can share a photo of my pup, Connie. She was an absolute terror until she reached 2 years, the worst of the 4 Malinois we have had. Now, she is my best friend, and smart enough to make you swear she was human! 
OP, you have a great looking dog there! |

She is really a great dog and we love her to death. She doesn't do a lot of the naughty things that other dogs do, my biggest concern is her eating things and biting things and chewing things she shouldn't. I got her to be a protection dog, to protect the wife whilst I'm not home and the home whilst I am and have been practicing biting with her on her tug toys. It is getting to the stage where she is not biting the tug toy unless I give her the word to do so. I also try and stop her from being distracted whilst she has the tug toy in her mouth so I've been covering her eyes, playing with her ears, swatting her in the fact and jabbing her in the ribs while she does it and she's been pretty good about not letting go. Of course, the downside to this occurred the other day when I tried to pull a plastic bag out of her mouth and she mistook the skin between my thumb and index finger as the bag. She grabbed on hard with those long pointy puppy teeth and wouldn't let go. I had to pull my hand out which left some cuts and had me bleeding. I'm now working on putting water on her when she has the tug toy, so far she lets go but I'll keep at it! |

The top pup is named Sparta, she is a Belgian Malinois and she just turned four months old. The bottom pup is Ntwadumela or "He who greets with fire", he is the hyena killer. http://youtu.be/NBC8Y1fQ90I thats awesome...ive always wanted a Belgian Malinois!! good looking dog |

They are great dogs. I initially lamented at not being able to get a German Shepherd but am over the moon with a Belgian Malinois. She is the perfect size and just awesome. Quoted:

We got Connie, the dog in the picture, when she was 11 weeks old as a rescue. Within several months, she developed the habit of trying to destroy EVERY square inch of the house, and everything in it. Attempts to kennel her only caused her to break her canine teeth off on the bars. My final solution was to lock her in a room with nothing valuable when I went to work, and throw in a 12 cube box (I would bring one home daily from work). She would proceed to methodically shred the box into 1/2"x1/2" confetti. She also turn very nasty towards strangers (I raised her from 11 weeks, and she was always treated like a family member, and heavily socialized, so who knows where that came from). At 2, she suddenly changed, stopped all destructive behavior, and by introducing her to the Frisbee (she is never without it, see the picture), she started treating everyone as a potential Frisbee launcher, and turned into a social butterfly. I have had 4 Malinois, and each was different, but all more human than dog. Hell, one of them taught herself how to turn door knobs, and open doors when ever she wanted! Sure wish I had an AUG to go with them!

I was using a 40 round magazine and it wasn't easy to be incredibly precise, if I had a better platform I bet I could have got a better group. Should this be sufficient for a 50yd zero? Thanks!  |

And zero again at 200 yards. But you should fire at paper at those ranges first before you can say that for sure. |

Awesome stuff! Will I need to re-zero this when I get some 75gr Hornady TAP? Or will this zero work? Quoted:

I found that 55 ball and 75 gr have about the same zero at 200 yards (if that's the range zero'd for), but that 75 gr shoots a little high at 50 and 100 yards with that zero. not terrible, it's spelled out in the thread I posted actually. But bottom line, if you zero for 55 ball for 50 yards, you should be within around 2" of zero for all ammo at all ranges between about 30 yards and 220 yards (ish). Which is why i like the 50 yard zero. |
