Answer
Hi Robbie.
Interarms imported many different firearms from various places and sold them under numerous trade names. I can't say for certain without inspecting your rifle in person but it sounds like a Whitworth Mark X Vscount rifle. These were made in England for a number of years and then discontinued, but some additional Mark X rifles were made in Yugoslavia as late as 1997.
The Mark X Viscount rifles were available in various calibers including 22-250 Rem, 243 Win, 25-06 Rem, 270 Win, 7x57mm, 7mm Rem Mag, 308 Win, 30-06, and 300 Win Mag.
You can find some additional information about Interarms and the Mark X rifles in the blue book as noted via the following link:
