What I was thinking

looks more like  2.25Hasselblad, archaic Swiss chambering

It's actually one of 12 camera rifles made in the 20s or 30s.  It goes on the block soon. Opening bid is about $165,k.  They think it will bring over $300,000.

Quick! Let's get a bunch of gun stocks and 35mm cameras and flood the market!

I know what it is. It's an .88 Magnum.

Had one like it a long time ago. Lent it to a friend and it was burned up in a fire. He never offered to replace or pay for the loss. Every time I used it at large events I had trouble with security.
