      Buying .22 ARC Rifles in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists 4 rifles in .22 ARC, and all 4 are available today. Ruger supplies three American Gen II models and Howa one Mini heavy-barrel rifle. The .22 ARC is a recent small centrefire designed for high-BC bullets in a short action, suited to long-range target shooting and to foxes and vermin.

      Bolt-action .22 ARC rifles are Category B in NSW. You need a current licence in that category and a Permit to Acquire (PTA) for each firearm. Since 1 July 2026 a PTA is only issued once the applicant shows they meet the safe-storage requirements, and new and renewed licences run for a maximum of two years.

      The Howa Mini Heavy Barrel is $999, the Ruger American Gen II Grey and Predator start at $1,193, and the Gen II Ranch is $1,340.

      The Howa Mini Heavy Barrel is the steady choice for bench and bipod work, while the Ruger American Gen II Predator and Ranch are lighter for walking fox hunts. The Gen II Grey sits in between.
