I am looking at getting a new Stg-556 with the rail and wanted opinions on a scope or scope/base combo. Any pics would be very helpful.

How much were you planing on spending?
How far away do you anticipate shooting?

I prefer low power variables rather than red dot sites for carbines.
Vortex makes some decent low power scopes for that price.Good warranty!http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=815709

I tried an Eotech on mine first and when placed where I <span style="text-decoration: underline">thought</span> I wanted it ended up cutting the piss out of my thumb.
I mounted a DMS directly to the factory rail with a set of Warne rings (low's IIRC).
These pics were from a 'what sling' thread. Let me know if you'd like a better one and I'll snap a few and post them up.

That is what I was really wanting to see. How do you like the setup? Anything you would have done differently?

I can't really think of anything I'd change. I really love the rifle. I've used it in some 3Gun and Tactical Carbine matches and it rocks in the CQB stages. Especially in a 3' wide hallway with windows to either side. Instead of having to lean back to clear the walls I basically just moved forward and pivoted left to right. The muzzle stayed 'inside' the window so the blast was impressive but you can't beat it at being a handy OAL.
The only problem I had was the three allen head screws holding the factory rail in place worked loose during a 3gun match one day. I fired like four or five rounds at a 50yd plate before I realized the rail, rings, and optic were moving around on me. I had to remove the scope to get to the screws, apply a little loctite and re-mount/re-zero the scope and it's GTG.
Not optic related, but if you buy a STG (or any AUG style for that matter) look into the Trigger Tamer. I cannot recommend it enough. Being a bullpup design the factory trigger is crap. The Tamer cut it by about a 1/3. It's by no means a massaged AR trigger but it made a huge difference! http://www.triggertamer.com/

I'd say the best tactical scope for AUG (or STG) is ACOG TA11H. Tried with ACOG and the native scope.
