Buying Lever Action Rifles in Australia

Magnum Sports lists 140 lever-action rifles, the largest range in Sydney: Henry Golden Boy, Big Boy, Side Gate, Long Ranger and Original Henry models, Marlin 1894, 1895 and 336 (now built by Ruger), Rossi Rio Bravo, Puma and R95, Uberti 1860, 1866, 1873 and 1894 reproductions, Winchester 1892, 1873 and 1895 and the Ranger .22, Browning BLR, Chiappa 1886, 1892 and LA322, and pre-owned Winchester, Marlin and Rossi lever guns on consignment.

A Permit to Acquire and compliant storage are required. Popular calibres are .22 LR for rabbits and plinking, .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum for pigs and deer in scrub, .30-30 Win for the classic deer carbine, .45-70 Government for buffalo and sambar, and .44-40 and .45 Colt for western action matches.

Prices start at $605 for the Rossi Rio Bravo .22 LR, $820 for the Chiappa LA322, $925 for the Winchester Ranger .22 and $1,165 for the Rossi Puma, with Henry Golden Boy from $1,370, Browning BLR from $1,990, Winchester 1892 from $2,185, Marlin 1894 and 1895 from $2,330, Uberti 1866 from $2,959 and 1873 from $3,099, and the Original Henry to $7,232.

      Common questions

      Are lever-action rifles still legal in NSW after the 2026 changes?
      Yes. The 2026 NSW reforms moved straight-pull, pump-action and lever-release rifles to Category C, but lever-action rifles stayed where they were: Category A for rimfires and Category B for centrefires. You still need a Permit to Acquire and compliant storage for each one.
      How much is a lever-action rifle in Australia?
      At Magnum Sports, from $605 for a Rossi Rio Bravo .22 LR and $1,165 for a Rossi Puma .357 or .44 Magnum. Henry Golden Boy rimfires start at $1,370 and Big Boy centrefires at $1,865, a Browning BLR is $1,990, a Winchester 1892 $2,185, a Marlin 1894 or 1895 $2,330 to $3,082, an Uberti 1866 $2,959 and 1873 $3,099 to $3,699 (September 2026).
      What is the best lever-action rifle for pig and deer hunting?
      For scrub hunting a short carbine in .44 Magnum or .45-70 is ideal: the Rossi Puma ($1,165) and Henry Big Boy ($1,865 up) in .44 Magnum, or the Marlin 1895 Guide Gun and Trapper in .45-70 ($2,330 to $2,692). For longer shots the Browning BLR ($1,990 up) is a lever action in modern calibres such as .308 Win and .243 with a detachable magazine.
      Which lever action is best for western action or SASS shooting?
      The Uberti 1873 ($3,099 to $3,699) is the standard match rifle in .357 Magnum, .44-40 or .45 Colt, with the Uberti 1866 ($2,959 up) and Winchester 1873 as alternatives; the Rossi Puma and Winchester 1892 are the budget options.
