I only have one that will do it to same POA/POI- an early 50s Pre-64 Model 70 in 375 Holland. The other close second is a Husqvarna Mauser in 9.3 X 62. Comforting in places like Alaska or Africa, where one may have to use what one can dig up or scrounge if the airline misplaces a valued bag.
Still owe you Stan for those Boss shells that went into my Fox XE and Parker VHE 3 in ...excellent for the wily Eastern wild turkey bearded swamp denizens.

There is no debt that I am aware of, my friend.

This is a picture I was trying to paste to my post of 12th November.

At Ellenbr’s kind suggestion I have switched to IMGBOX Imgur having booked everyone in the UK.

Did you find your .33WCF 1886? If not, this might do:

I don't know the seller or have any connection to the rifle.

I had not seen one in .33. WCF with a saddle ring before.

The neatly drilled hole on the toe of the butt plate (with some wood removed at the toe of the stock) which puzzled the vendor appears to be to take a sprung hook for a sling.

I like the vendor’s vintage shooting outfit!

This is an interesting 1886 rifle with full length magazine and an unusual saddle ring. The buttplate also is shotgun/rifle style, rather than carbine. These were popular with the LT WT smokeless style 1886 rifles.
While not completely original, it is interesting. A novel approach for a "sling swivel"... who may have looped a sling from hole to saddle ring. Interesting indeed. I own a full length rifle with magazine, complete with Lyman 21 receiver sight.

My favorites, usually sought, are the solid frame half-magazine SB 1886 rifles. These balance perfectly with the half-magazine, as the takedown mechanism extra steel may add close to 12 ounces in weight.
Interesting rifle, but adapted for the original owner. Of interest, if it could be obtained at the price the seller paid for the rifle.

Ben Lilly carried one of these full magazine 1886 33 WCF rifles with his hounds from Mexico back into the Arizona and New Mexico mountains. It was effective on both mountain lion and bears in the early 1900s. He killed a large
grizzly with his 86 in 33 WCF below Alpine, AZ. along the Blue about 1912.
