Here's an idea. Thanks to Intersurplus, my favourite little House of Miracles:
We start here:
This rifle is in 7x33 Sako, a caliber I didn't know existed until just now. Wikipedia says this is "...based on a 9×19mm Parabellum case that has been lengthened and necked down to accept a 7.21mm bullet. The cartridge overall length is 44.30mm with a case length of 33.30mm and a base diameter of 10mm.". Looks like this:
Now that appears considerably lengthened - 19mm to 44mm is better than double the original length - but still a good starting point.
This rifle has a magazine system that is likely modifiable to work with a much stumpier cartridge.
The bolt face should be correct, or damned close to it. Find a way to shorten up the mag - an internal spacer perhaps - and throw a fresh stubby barrel on there (picture this with a 14" tube) and perhaps we're done, with the exception of plenty of money and bad language necessary to making the thing function as it should.
