.240 Weatherby Magnum Rifles

Buying .240 Weatherby Magnum Rifles in Australia

Magnum Sports lists 16 rifles in .240 Weatherby Magnum, all made by Weatherby, and 6 can be ordered today. The range covers both the Mark V (MKV) and the newer 307 actions. The .240 Weatherby Magnum is Weatherby's own belted 6 mm cartridge, known for flat trajectories with light to medium bullets, and Australian hunters use it on foxes, goats and lighter deer.

As centrefire bolt-action rifles, these are Category B firearms in NSW. Buying one needs a current Category B licence and a Permit to Acquire (PTA) for the rifle. 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 entry point is the Weatherby 307 Range XP at $2,275, listed as an end-of-line clearance, so call to confirm availability. The MKV Hunter in stock starts at $3,325, and the 307 Adventure SD, MKV Live Wild and 307 Alpine CT fill the $4,085–$5,086 bracket. The MKV Backcountry 2.0 is the top in-stock model at $6,139, and Backcountry Carbon Ti 2.0 rifles run to $9,216 on special order.
