The Type 99 sniper rifle (九九式狙撃銃 Kyūkyū-shiki sogeki-jū) was a Japanese sniper rifle used during the Second World War. It was a sniper version of the Type 99 rifle chambered in the 7.7x58mm round. There were a few variations of the Type 99 sniper rifle some with the straight bolt and the scope mounted on the left side of the receiver which allowed use of stripper clips.
