    Yes, completely ridiculous that the front scope foot is mounted to a wooden stock, where as the rear scope foot is mounted to the receiver. And on top of that, the recoil forced the scope to slide forward and had to be pushed back after every shot. And having such a rifle in hand, you wonder what kind of cripple the shooter had to be, to be able and aim through such an offset scope.

    War and the lack of material often resulted in solutions which appear completely stupid afterwards. But on the other hand this is what makes collecting so awesome.
