Does the circle reticle have a little dot in the center or is it just the circle? Just curious.

The anniversary edition definitely cut a few $$$ corners. It's in a cardboard box instead of a case, and it comes with a Steyr AUG A3 manual. The controls are pretty different from the A3!
Like others said, no test fire target or casing. It's BONE dry, not a drip of oil anywhere on it. I highly doubt it has been test fired. |

They all have been test fired, just look at the bolt head, gas plug & piston.
Also look closely at the ejection port area, you will see a few faint brass knicks. None of the US made AUGs came with a test target. |

Do the charging handles lock back manually, or was KOAM's problem on page 5 an isolated issue?

Steyr has Green buttpads AND green barrel release buttons on order.
If you have an STG77, they will swap you buttons and buttpads. Here's the catch: YOU MUST PATIENTLY WAIT. DON'T BLOW UP THEIR PHONES OR EMAIL, WHEN THEY GET IN I'LL POST SOMETHING. UNTIL THEN, HANG TIGHT. From what I understand, the green parts were held up and waiting on them would have been a much longer delay on getting the rifles out. |

I picked mine up yesterday. It is an incredibly nice rifle.
Comparing it to my A1's, I see no reason to buy an A1 today (except for the preban status and collectibility). I will put pictures up, but might not have time until right before the 4th. |

Quick question - as someone who prefers the high magnification of 3X - is there any chance this can be had with a 3X rather than the 1.5X glass? I really like the concept, and want one - they look beautiful. But I have pause spending that much for a rifle that's not really going to be able to see and pop 6" field gongs at 500 yards so well, which is part of my usage.

Just an FYI, there are a few on GB $1999-2200. Thought about picking another up as a shooter and keeping my lower SN gun as a collector.

I paid for mine with a CC that had price rewind, so I just got back $170. For less than $2100 I am happy!

I couldn't tell what @yekcoh meant. The STG77 compared to new production M1's or the old "preban" A1's?
Stg77 vs new AUG's, you lose the external bolt release on the stock, but gain a better 1.5x reticle option and charging handle. There's also something to be said for collectibility. Stg77 vs preban A1's, you gain many features directly related to reliability and durability. I've been meaning to compare these two, and when I do I'll point out these differences. Like I've said before, if you're interested in an AUG A1 type gun, forget the preban guns. Get this model, it's upgraded and factory new. From a pure shootability standpoint, the STG77 towers over the old preban guns. |

Almost all the regular online gun stores have them for less than 2100.00 right now, amazingly enough at some places they are selling for less than the standard 1.5 model. There isn't much love for this model aside from the enthusiasts. Reddit threads I've seen are extremely critical about it citing the inflated MSRP over a standard AUG, dubious collector value, especially considering Steyr's history of "limited editions" and that they are already talking about making non Anniversary models. I will say that I wish I had an extra 2000.00 laying around right now, I'd like to get one at that price!

You know. I had watched a few of his videos over the years. Maybe 3 or 4 the last 6-7 years. The blindness thing didn't click. But it makes perfect sense. From my understanding.

Also, FYI, he replied to me on Youtube that there are quite a bit of guns shown in his videos that are not his, just from friends and people he know. He explained that being in the gun business and staying connected with fellow gun nuts provides greater access to interesting guns than normal people. |

Anyone have a link for a stg77 cheaper than $2,080? I picked one up from Pete but my card will reimburse me if I find a cheaper price.

Bought mine today from impact guns in Boise. Should be in next week from their Utah branch. $2400ish, but I don't care it was a bit more. I want the gun bad and I like to shop local at great FFL's. This is the AUG ive been wanting.

Meh, it's only money, you'll make more of it. It is why I sat out the initial release. I'm expecting Steyr to keep offering this edition in a non-limited release. Then again, they have had trouble moving the first 400...so... I'd gladly own this edition if I could not take such a beating on my 3x M1 or if I was an ARF millionaire.
