Japanese sniper rifles were adjusted with their scopes when they delivered the hands of snipers.
So, it was not impossible to adjust the scope at the battle field but diffirulet.
They needed some tools and technical skill.
The only person I know who could do in U.S., was Glen DeLuter at SARCO gunshop in N.J.
He was very knowledgable about Japanese sniper rifles and scopes.
He made some tools by himself and removing the tiny screws and tried to adjust the lenses.
But unfortunately he was killed by an accident at the shooting range several years ago.
Once I found a broken scope for Model 97 sniper. I brought back to Janan and asked one of my best friends who is an excellent smith.
He cut the mount and tube. He used a modern 3power rifle scope on the original mount.
It is a delicate work because he could not weld them but it should be durabel enough on a rifle.
I brought it back again to U.S. and tried to shoot with my M-97 rifle.
It worked well.
