1..Is your rifle pommie built or US built?
Not sure. It has Interarms, Alexandria Virginia AND Manchester England on the action. Plus made in Yugoslavia as it is a Mark X action.

2..Does it feed ok?
Not as good as it should. It needs some work.

3..has it cracked the stock anywhere?
No.

4..Does it have an extra recoil lug under the barrel?
No.

5..Do you know its weight without scope?
9 lbs with bases.

The thread on the barrel was cut at an angle and the stock made to fit the angled barrel. I had to either use mounts with windage or as I had done in the end, special angled bases made to use a scope with it. Bob de Vries made up new 'crooked' bases similar to Warnes but with grooves to allow use of open sights.

It is very accurate and when I shoot well enough can cut a 1/3 to 1/2 MOA 3 shot group with Woodleigh 300 grainers.

I believe Mike has a Whitworth as well.
