Believe the K98 w/scope was the weapon carried by actor Ed Harris in the WW2 era sniper movie "Sniper at the Gates".. Southpawed sniper in the 2nd Rangers, portrayed by actor Barry Pepper, always seemed to be changing scopes on the 1903-A4 he carried, not impossible for a lefty to operate a BA rifle, heck, my son-in-law does it with his Remmie 700 30-06 scoped deer rifle.
