Don’t know the full story behind this pic, other than it was apparently found in Russia and is a Sniper Nest from 81 years ago. Looking at the optic attached to the rifle, I am of two minds about the age of the pic.
Apparently it is a Russian Sniper rifle from WW II. Apart from that, I have no further info.

Aren't the optics upside down?
If yes, did they do it to still see the target when they hold over with these fat aiming-arrows?

Interesting picture, thanks for sharing. Just curious if any other related items were found with the rifle that might shed some addition light on this discovery. All the best...

reminds me of the Winchester lever action they found leaning up against a tree from the late 1800's.
