#1: Old Sniper rifle Author: Vince, Location: Brisbane AUSTRALIAPosted: Wed Oct 11, 2023 11:44 pm ---- 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.

If yes, did they do it to still see the target when they hold over with these fat aiming-arrows?
