This video explores the WWI German Gewehr 98 sniper rifle. It highlights that Germany was an early adopter of sniping tactics in WWI and showcases their primary sniper rifle of the era. The rifle is based on the standard Gewehr 98 chambered in 8mm Mauser. The video notes the use of optics from various commercial manufacturers, typically with 3x or 4x magnification, and points out the lack of a standardized military scope. It also details the unique windage adjustment mechanism integrated into the mount and the use of a BDC elevation dial for reticle adjustment.
