Has anyone even seen one of these rifles. I have to admit, this looks very cool and innovative

Very cool but MSRP is 2549 euros, so that'll be well over $2600. That's a lot of cash.
Everything old is new again. Is this a maual version of an existing semi auto, or is it a "new" action.

I didn't know these were a thing. I mean it makes sense--maybe it is just a manual version of what really is a semi, but it's an interesting design.

Pretty cool. I'll probably stick to my Remington 700 but it's a neat rifle with an interesting design.
Interesting. Probably will be popular with hog hunters. It's not really necessary for deer.

I own a straight-pull bolt-action rifle.
It's an AR with the gas tube removed, making it a single-shot. Have all the evil features you want.

Reminds me if the Swiss K31.
Browning offers high quality stuff but I cant imagine its even a 1/10th as good as a K31. But nothing can touch Swiss armaments in terms of quality.
I looked it up. This is indeed a manual Browning BAR. A compliance hunting gun-yawn-

That's my father's deer rifle and actually the gun I used to take my first buck when I was a wee lad. It's a nice gun that's for sure. I suppose the mechanism follows the same principal, but the Remington 760 is a pump action rifle. The Browning in the OP has a bolt with a somewhat different mechanism, does it not?
It is the same action as the BARs but with no gas system and a different and larger bolt handle attatched.

I think its more to try and cut in on the Blaser straight pull market share. Rifles like the R8 have apparently become popular in Europe.

looks like a cross of a bolt...pump..and trap gun(looks)....I like brownings...have a semi but is this more/less accurate than a pump ??
Makes me want to put a Lantac-like handle on my SCR carrier and remove the gas system.

I'm having trouble understanding what makes it so superior to a decent pump action. Free float barrel perhaps?

It just a BAR neutered for the english market.
Yes. Its just a compliance marketing thing. It is probably a fine rifle as the BAR it is derived from is a fine rifle. But it is nothing special.
