My newly inherited Ross Rifle-What exactly do I have?

[Surpmil]

You have a sporterization of a MkII of some variety. If there is a serial number over the chamber then it would have been a commercial target rifle originally. If not, it's a cut-down ex-military rifle.

It looks like the butt has been heavily sanded, so probably no original markings left?

Thanks, there are no markings evident on the stock. I'll have to take a closer look to see if I can locate a serial # on the chamber. After doing more research and reading your reply though, I'm leaning towards it being a sporterized military gun. Thanks!
