This video analyzes the portrayal of Private Jackson's sniper rifle in the movie "Saving Private Ryan." While the film correctly identifies the rifle as an M1903A4, it features inaccuracies with the scope. The video points out the use of an inappropriate Lyman Alaskan scope and then a Unertl scope that is not interchangeable with the M1903A4's standard scope without modification. Further inaccuracies include the scope not moving correctly during use and mistaken windage adjustments. The analysis highlights the prop department's errors in depicting the sniper rifle's features and functionality.
