New Browning not destined for Canada?

The Maral looks like it's being marketed in Europe and Australia but not here. Maybe it's as close as they can legally get to a semi-auto.

They've been around for a few years, but have never been offered here probably due to lack of interest in straight pull guns for use on driven hunts. Much like pump actions are pretty much nonexistent in Europe. Semi auto's are also prohibited for use in some countries and if they can use them, mag capacity is often limited to two..
Looks to be aimed at competing against Blaser's R93/R8, although a weak attempt with lack of switch barrels.

It is like a BAR without the auto feature. Semi auto is, as mentioned, banned in some countries.
