As above,
did soldiers using scope equipped k98ks use cheek rests or other eye-aligning devices with their rifles? I haven’t run across any photos, just curious....

There is 2 such photos of German Sniper Rifle equipped with Check Comb pictured in Senich Book Pg.238 . Most likely only a Test piece that was never fielded .

On the K98k only prototypes, on the G.41(W) trials snipers they were standard.

Is that a scope you have in your pocket?
