Doubt I will shoot open anytime soon.
Most of the shooting we have done is close. Haven't shot any real distance yet.

I am still struggling to work out what I want sight/optic wise.
Can't decide whether I go scope or dot with magnifier.
Shot an AR with an eotech and magnifier that had a very small dot I liked, but not sure on eotech stuff.

1-4 power optic with either dot or short range sight on the "45" magnifiers are pooze along with eotechs, I have a $1500 eotech tactical paper weight

Have the iron sight issue sorted.
Handgaurd has plenty of positions to fit a small rail to mount a foresight.

Still can't decide on optics. Thinking 1-6x or 2-7x or 2-8x
Just not sure on brands.

The two I am interested in are the Steyr AUG , and the SIG550 , shoot both , However , the due to the design of the SIG , I have heard a few complaints of the 550 having slight accuracy issues , BUt I feel it is still more than acceptable for GovT work .
The complaints come from the Swiss , and they have the most actual trigger time with this platform .

RE : the AUG , trigger someone makes a " trigger tamer " for it , BUT , all I would do , would be strip the trigger down , sand down the mold line on the sear surfaces , then use the issue graphite powder that NZ Army uses .

And yes , 1 ) It makes a BIG difference in both smoothness & pull weight , & 2 ) YES , I have done exactly what I have said on a Steyr AUG rifle .

Accuracy , would favour the AUG , I believe , also , spare mags would be maybe easier to get ?
As both are piston guns , they would have less problems running a suppressor , than DI guns .

Later Chris

I'm thinking along the lines of getting the same scope when I can find it available, let me know if you find it somewhere for a good price

If money isn't a worry I would get a vortex razor 1-6. Massive FOV

You can pre-order at gunsnz.com.
I haven't yet but will fit my rifle with a spare 2-7 scope I have now and irons till I maybe get a look at one.

That's why I settled on the strikefire FOV is almost identical.
Optics may not be as good but good enough for 3 gun and the like.
