      Buying .22 WMR Rifles & Pistols in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists about 110 .22 WMR firearms, and 46 of them can be ordered today. Savage, Henry, CZ, Ruger, Lithgow Arms, Chiappa, Rossi and Bergara carry the most models. The .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire is a step up from .22 LR in reach and hitting power, and in Australia it is a farm and pest-control favourite for rabbits, foxes and feral cats at sensible rimfire distances.

      A non semi-automatic .22 WMR rifle (bolt, lever or single shot) is a Category A firearm in NSW; the Chiappa 1873-22, Ruger Single Nine and Smith & Wesson Model 648 in this collection are handguns and need a Category H licence. Every purchase needs a current licence in the right category plus a Permit to Acquire (PTA) for each firearm. 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. With so many lever actions on this page, note that NSW reforms moving lever and pump-action rifles into Category C have passed but are not yet in force; current categories apply until they commence.

      Rifles start at $407 for the Rossi 8122M, a typical .22 WMR rifle sits around $1,340, and the top end is $4,460 for the Henry Golden Boy Deluxe Engraved 4th Edition.

      For a working fox and rabbit rifle, a bolt action with a heavier barrel is the practical choice: the Savage 93 F Package, CZ 457 American or Varmint, Bergara BMR and Browning T-Bolt Varmint are all available now. Left-handers can choose the Lithgow LA101 Crossover in left-hand polymer versions. If you want a lever gun for the paddock or the ute, look at the Henry Classic Lever Action Rimfire, Rossi Rio Bravo or Uberti 1866. The Anschutz 1761 DHB suits shooters chasing the tightest groups, and the Chiappa Little Badger is the simple, lightweight single-shot option.
