Got a nice 4 point today with my winchester model 71 in 33 cal. with 200 grain soft point. That's great. Never saw a 71 in .33 WCF but I've heard about them and have seen them in old Winchester salesman literature. I also hunt with a .33 but it's the run of the mill 1886 kind.

Sounds like your getting it done! Hopefully pics follow.
Here is my understanding of eastern versus western "point" counting.
Eastern= count all points you can hang a ring on on both sides. End it with ER as in thirty pointER.
Western= count one side all points bigger than an inch. Do not count the eye gaurd. If both sides have same amount call it just by one side.As in a four point. If sides vary call it a 4 by 5 or whatever.
Calling them a 4 by 4 is IMO very gay.(Very qausi eastern)

A pic of the 71 in that caliber is required!

Only a few in 33WCF were done at the factory I have been told of some that have been rebarreled the factory ones will have the barrel markeing of Wichester with out the 348 markeings also a
few were made in 45-70 those of you who know Ron Rondo will recall the the Model 71 collection he sold many years back in it were 33WCF and 45-70.

You learn something new every day. I thought a model 71 was a one caliber proposition. I'd like to see it.
