Imperial German Sniper Gewehr 98 with Scope

Just more work from the Iron Europe Forum:



OK, I found some photos of a WWI Telescopic site.

I don't think it is an X4 site

The standard Gewehr 98 had to be modified.

They had to cut a piece out and turn the bolt down.

This is what I've found so far (in French language, but the English Wikipedia in the "Gewehr 98" entry explains the Sniper version of the Gewehr 98, and looks like it translated the French description word for word; just go to Wikipedia):
