    Congratulations on your pick up. Don't sweat the bolt release. It probably has dried grease caked inside and would be sticky.

    The reticle on 4x scopes are not canted (slanted) like the 2.5x Type 97 scopes, so if this one is, it's because the inside etched glass has gotten rotated slightly.
