Very nice rifle vivekpeter.
It looks like you got a decent piece of wood in the stock. When you get a chance to shoot it, please post some photos of your targets. BTW, can I borrow your Kenneth Anderson omnibus after you are done with it.

rraju,
Those silver colored casings are the Winchester Supreme load. It is nickel plated brass.

@sainikji - The invoice amount for the rifle was 91600 and the amount I paid was around 96000 INR. And the cartridges, the Winchester cost me 250 INR a pop, and SB was 140, excluding the taxes.
@ankur - It is not an LED aiming device (Laser to be precise), but a TAC light that fits onto the barrel.
@xl_target - thanks for your compliment sir
I have a Leupold scope, which I will be fixing onto the rifle, and I will zero it tomorrow. I will definitely post the pictures or maybe upload some video. And sure, you can have my KA omnibus once I have finished reading it. I have JC omnibus too..

Some more photos. Fixed the Leupold scope using Savage Scope Rings, and home made rails. Zeroed it using a bore-sighter. But yet to shoot it....
