Hutchison J .......................................................BAR15/ SUSAT/ 5.56 RUAG/ RG What sort of mount do you use for the SUSAT, if I may ask? I acquired a foreign, surplus one which has had the AK5 mount modified to fit a weaver rail, but it mounts too high for a bullpup. Picture with mount. |

That's the same mount I use, it's a Bae mount sold off by the police from they're hk53's I took a picatinny riser and milled flat the top to turn it into a stanag rail |

I think the only way it would work on a AUG is to have another base made so that the site could mount directly. Pity it didn't fit since they are a fun design. |

Hutch Couple of years ago, I used to run a SUSAT on a Yanke Hill riser mount, all I did was machined the riser to match the STANAG type base. It was ok too 300 yds, after that, you couldnt really compete. YES MARK, I KNOW ITS FUGLY

I'd be quite interested in one, and I suppose it would be affordable if I sold the rifles present optic. Nice job if that was you made it. Thanks. |

Hutch , stopped using the ACOG then ? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile i have the acog on my 20" upper, but thats more for everything use rather than comps i have a susat on my csr rifle as it mimics my work one (size weight and scope)and as i use csr as practice for our Imperial meet, i may as well train with something thats as close to the rifle im gonna use as possible, realisticly i'd want one of the cadet L98's that were sold off to canda, but i got no chance of that lol a susat is good for up to 500 any more than that and it becomes very difficult I'm also fitting a susat to my new .22 so i can practice the stand kneel at 100, cos thats where i seem to be dropping most of my points in comps :) |

thing is if you bought one, it wouldnt take long to customise it to something more ergonmic and more reliable |

It would be a real expensive undertaking I expect. Aren't they worth well into the thousands for the rifle alone? A chap I shoot with was offered one for £3500 several years ago. |

I wonder what the L85A1 sporters are running to in the U.S theses days? Those were quite expensive when they were brought in during the 80's. We probably get off quite lightly in comparison to what they pay; I'd think $30K minimum for their self loading versions. |
