      Buying Bolt Action Rifles in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists more than 400 bolt-action rifles that can be ordered today from Tikka, Sako, Savage, Ruger, Lithgow Arms, Bergara, Sauer, Blaser, CZ, Howa, Anschutz, Cadex, Springfield Armory, Weatherby and Winchester, covering rimfire trainers and hunters, lightweight and walnut-stocked centrefire hunting rifles, varmint and long-range rifles, and chassis rifles for PRS and F-Class.

      Bolt actions are the standard for hunting and pest control because they are simple, accurate and easy to keep. In NSW rimfire bolt actions are Category A and centrefire bolt actions Category B. Every firearm purchase in NSW needs a current licence in the right category and a Permit to Acquire (PTA) for that firearm; since 1 July 2026 a safe-storage inspection must be passed before a PTA is issued, and licences now run for a maximum of two years. Interstate buyers order online and we transfer dealer to dealer to your nominated licensed dealer.

      Rimfire bolt actions start at about $400, most centrefire hunting rifles sit between $1,200 and $3,500, and precision rifles from Sako, Cadex, Victrix and Accuracy International run from $5,000 to more than $20,000.
