I have explained that in the very post where i posted pics, Its highlighted with red color also ..

Awesome and thank you sir. The design seems to be pretty neat and user friendly. Any specific reason for wooden finish ? Otherwise good work done. I believe that the production vatiant might not be wooden.
Kunal sir, any specific reason for the requirement of a wooden stock?

Thanks @Kunal Biswas for posting this..... :)
IMO one change which we would see in future would be the change of grip. I think it would get a bit small and the Forestock would become much sleek. But these all are only my guess work.

Excalibur 1C is not fully operational yet, So its not possible to seek reliable comments ..

About improved 1B1, We have no complains as far as i am in touch with various units ..
What is the range of Ex caliber ? What is the difference between 1B1 and 1C? Is the range fit in Indian army criterion of 500 m?

Very sleek design but the wood has got to make this rifle ungodly heavy, polymor is desperatly needed.

+ good to see the Drugnovs being replaced by a designated sniper rifle, not a designated marksmen rifle that the Drugnov is. IA needs to place more emphasis on sniper teams, they are true force multipliers in the battlefeild.

Snipers play a valuable part in targeting the morale of the enemy troops. Counter snipers will be employed by enemy eventually. But a sniper is far off from what a regular infantry soldier can fight. The kill envelope of the sniper is invincible when he is targeting a regular infantry. It sends shivers down the troops when they hear "sniperrr".

Recent killings of our soldiers at the LOC or IB consists of attacks by Pakistani snipers. We do need snipers and counter snipers.

Not just that but the value of sniper teams in collecting information and providing overwatch over their unit is immense.

Wood is what IA has insisted on. Moreover few days back a batch of AR had to be taken back and polymer butts were replaced with wood as far as news goes.
Now wood sure does add up a bit of weight, but its far more reliable then polymer in adverse weather condition. Moreover polymer furnishing for AR or Carbines are a priority, but for a Sniper rifle, IMO wood too is as good as full polymer furnishing.

Good to see our own sniper rifle . [emoji4]

But , is there any solid reason for why this rifle can or should replace dragunov ?

This rifle is a lot heavier then dragunov .

Rate of fire is less , as it is manually operated and dragunov is gas operated semi automatic .

It uses 7.62×51mm and dragunov uses 7.62×54mm so has less effective range and muzzle velocity then dragunov .

Barrel length of dragunov is less then this rifle but still has more effective range , so more maneuverability .
