.22 Air Rifles

Buying .22 Air Rifles in Australia

Magnum Sports lists 103 air rifles in .22 calibre, and 37 of them can be ordered today. FX Airguns is the largest range, alongside Norica, Diana, Airmaks Arms, Airgun Technology and Kalibrgun, with smaller lines from Evanix, Skout Airguns, Stoeger Airguns, RTI Arms, BSA Guns, Gamo and Crosman. The .22 (5.5 mm) pellet is the heavier of the two common air rifle calibres and is the usual pick for close-range control of rabbits and pest birds. The collection runs from spring and gas-ram break-barrels through to pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) rifles.

Air rifles are Category A in NSW, so you need a current Category A licence and a Permit to Acquire (PTA) for each rifle. Since 1 July 2026 a PTA is only issued once you show you meet the safe-storage requirements, and new and renewed licences run for a maximum of two years. Interstate buyers can order online and the rifle goes dealer to dealer to their nominated licensed dealer for $65 freight ($85 to WA). Pellets are sold against a sighted licence and collected from our Roseville Chase store only.

The Crosman Vital Shot opens the range at $330, with the Norica Titan from $347 and the Diana 260 and 250 just over $400. The median listed price is about $2,200, around the FX Dreamline, FX DRS and Diana XR200 PCP models. At the top end, FX Impact M4 and FX King GRS rifles sit at roughly $3,700–$4,100, and the FX DRS MDT Pro is $5,680.

  • Prices$330–$5,680; break-barrels mostly under $900, PCP rifles mostly $1,500–$4,100

For a first rabbit and pest-bird rifle, a break-barrel such as the Diana 34 EMS, Diana 350 Panther or Norica Omnia ZRS is simple to run with no air supply to manage. If you shoot often or want more consistency at pest ranges, a PCP is the step up: the FX Dreamline and DRS rifles and the Diana XR200 PCP are the in-stock starting points, with the FX Impact M4 and FX King GRS for dedicated field shooters. PCP rifles need a fill source such as a dive tank or hand pump, so allow for that in the budget.

      Common questions

      Do I need a licence for a .22 air rifle in NSW?
      Yes. Air rifles are Category A, so you need a Category A licence and a PTA for each rifle, and the PTA is only issued once you show you meet the safe-storage requirements.
      Is a .22 air rifle good for rabbits?
      At sensible close range, yes; .22 is the common air rifle calibre for rabbit and pest-bird control. Range judgement and shot placement matter more than the rifle, so practise on paper first.
      Which .22 air rifles are in stock?
      37 are available now, including the Crosman Vital Shot, Diana 34 EMS, Norica Spider GRS, FX Panthera Hunter and FX Impact M4 Sniper Copper. Each product page shows current stock.
      How much does a .22 air rifle cost?
      Listed prices run from $330 to $5,680. Break-barrel rifles are mostly under $900, while PCP rifles mostly sit between $1,500 and $4,100.
      Can you send an air rifle interstate?
      Yes. Order online and the rifle is transferred dealer to dealer to your nominated licensed dealer for $65, or $85 to WA. Pellets are collect-only from Roseville Chase.
