It looks like a nice rifle and good amount of effort put photography is much appreciated.7.9X57 is a good medium caliber cartridge and I have always believed that Stutzen's balance much better.

Looks good , but then it is re-blued , varnished and photographed (photo-shopped?) well . I hope what lies beneath those layers does full justice to the photos.

Deepak you seem to have a good knowledge of Adobe Photo Shop. The photographs seem to professionally handled and the rifle definitely looks redone with refurbished stock. But at the end a good rifle with good effort of restoring it.
