Having a high post count is also no indicator of 'quality'
The Steyr Prohunter is 'THE' best hunting rifle ever made.

Yes it is!!
...and I wouldn't swap my Grandpa's sporterized CZ VK24 in .243, or the CZ ZKK 601 .243 he gave me for my 16th birthday. Both rifles are a million times more valuable to me than anything mentioned in this daft thread!

The bullet dips then rises again during flight? It must be an amazing rifle.

It needs time to stabilise so that the sensor head can acquire the 300m target - a special bullet for a 'special' rifle.

Just thinking the same thing Ken
A bullet that takes a dive? Surely not. Sounds like a fixed match!
Sorry, but I couldn't make a lot of sense of the OP nor what the point of the post was. Was it to inform, persuade or to recommend?
I tried a Steyr at Ivythorn Sporting. It was advertised has having hardly shot any rounds even though used. It wouldn't put a group into a melon from 100 yards it was that bad (obviously something wrong with it) and put me off looking at another.
I'll stick to my T3 rifles and CZs as they are obviously the bestest rifles in the world, ever. Thanks for the OP though, it cheered up an otherwise dull morning for me
So lets get this straight: should I sling my Sako 75 and Tikka m595 into the scrap bin and buy a plastic-fantastic Pro-shunter or should I muddle along with what I've got for now?
Also my bullets trend to follow a steady arc on leaving the muzzle without deviating from the trajectory curve. Is there something wrong with my rounds?
A bullet that will follow the contours of the ground would be very useful on occasions. If the OP has achieved this could he post the load please.

Empiricism would indicate the contrary.

I quite agree. I looked at one and just couldn't find anything I liked about it. I'm sure they are fine but I bought a Husqvarna 1900 for less than half the price and feel the same about it as the OP does about his Prohunter. Fortunately I kept quiet about it and didn't distort the supply/demand fundamentals of the market for these ancient wood and blued rifles and now have 2 more 1900s all at a great price!

Must say, i bought one as part of a package on SD. S&B scope, moderator and stainless steel Prohunter with superb set trigger in 308caliber. Specifically to shoot pigs, but found i could use any deer legal cal. Vendor said it would shoot 1/2 moa. Checking the zero i got 5/8” for 3 shots @100 yards with Federal 150 grain ammo. As I didn’t need it to go after pigs i moved it on.
Only thing I didn’t like ws the safety bush in the chamber area.
Ken.
Ps. Don’t think i want another.
pps. This one had a carbon fibre stock by SSS.
