The Type 97 sniper rifle is a Japanese bolt-action rifle, based on the Type 38 rifle adopted in 1937, following Japanese combat experience in Manchuria. Although the Japanese planned on replacing it with the Type 99 sniper rifle, which had superior range and penetration, the Type 97 remained in service until the end of the World War II.
