25-20 SS is actually a 25-20wcf Help!

Took Stevens Favorite to gun shop today after discussion here on forum. Tried a 25-20 single shot round, but case was too long, so we tried 25-20 WCF and it fit...............so here's my problem. From what everyone has said so far the "Favorite" action is too week for 25-20SS much less 25-20 WCF. The option would be to reline bore to something less potent........If my only option would be to go rim-fire, I'd probably rather sell it. When I bought it, I assumed that because it was chambered for 25-20 it would have been the a stronger frame. Being unfamiliar with Stevens, I may have been hoodwinked!
.32 SW was a possible suggestion???
I wanted a "traditional" style single shot varmint gun...........I may be still looking@%&*#!!!
Any suggestions appreciated!

Either sell it off, or if you want to shoot it, get a chamber cast done, figure out what it really is, and re-load appropriate ammo at appropriate pressures.
What nobody spoke of if this rifle is a favorite its probably chambered in the 25 stevens rimfire round not 25-20SS or WCF
In the first thread on this subject he said it had been rechambered.
