watching ww2 documentary film of D day, noticed a german soldier with a full
length (approx 24 inch ) unertl scope on his shouldered 98 . And he was a german
paratrooper as from his helmut. Strange ?

It has been my observation that soldiers that know how to use weapons are allowed to carry what they want. I know I was allowed to have/carry my 700 Varmint Special in 223 Rem because I hated my M-16. The Carl Gustav in 7mm Rem mag was an issue due to lack of ball ammo.
98 scope jobs myself I found it interesting due to the bolt clearance and safety
roll over of a mil 98 , which it was , not a custom 98 . It would require 2~3 in of padding on a military 98 stock to
get your eye in position on a 20x unertl.
move with recoil and return spring. I would not want to get within 500 yds
of a 8mm 98 Mauser topped with a unertl, if the shooter knows his hold over.
thanks rusty.
