You certainly can still find them on gun auctions. Fine guns IMO. Honestly, I'd like to have one (of course there are plenty guns I would like, just like everyone else).

I heard someone else was gonna pick up the import business into the US. Sorry, I don't know who.

If one wants a 375 rifle in a pushfeed action, there is no better one than the Steyr Mannlicher! The Pro Hunter model is a good platform as well!

I collect Mannlicher Shoenauer rifles, which are CRF, but if I ever wanted a pushfeed in a chambering that was to be used for anything that bites back, it would be a toss up between the Steyr pro, and the Sauer 202 Magnum, both good, well made, rifles.

I had one loved it, but sold it because it was righthanded. I'll just have to do a 376 on lefthand Carles daly I have left over. Their goes my tax money.

In power it's really just a 375 Whelan, but it's a commercial cartridge, and is made in a nice rifle.

I have a 375, a 338, a 9.3x62, a 35 Whelan, and a 405.

I think th3 376 would make a hell of a neat hog gun!

I don't know what a 375 Whelan will do but I am getting 2695FPS average with factory Hornady 270 grain at 20 feet from the muzzle at 80 degrees (F). My rifle is a Serengeti built on a Montana
Arms Barreled action with a 23 inch barrel.

Unless they recently got some more, CDNN has been out of the 376 prohunter for quite some time.

CDNN is showing the .376 Steyr ProHunter in their current catalog, but I didn't call to ask about availability.

I still like my rifle, it is a lot of whomp in a smaller package.

Did allright on a cape buff as well. It has become one of my favourites although one of the less expensive rifles I own. It is great for the really thick stuff and you can load it up or down according to your needs. It is really a shame they totally fubar'd the original marketing of such a fine round and weapon. Good things do come in small packages.
