      Buying .257 Weatherby Magnum Rifles in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists 18 rifles in .257 Weatherby Magnum, six of them available to order today. All but one are Weatherby, across the Mark V (MKV), 307 and Vanguard lines, with a Blaser K95 single shot also listed. The .257 Weatherby Magnum is a fast, flat-shooting quarter-bore magnum, used in Australia for fallow deer, goats and foxes in open country where longer shots are common.

      Centrefire rifles are Category B in NSW. You need a current licence in that category plus a Permit to Acquire for each rifle; since 1 July 2026 a Permit to Acquire (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. Interstate buyers can order online and the rifle is transferred dealer to dealer to their nominated licensed dealer, with longarm freight $65 ($85 to WA).

      The Weatherby Vanguard Meateater Special starts at $2,130, and the 307 Range XP end-of-line clearance is $2,275. Most listings are Mark V models between about $3,300 and $8,100, with the typical rifle around $6,200, and the MKV Backcountry Ti Carbon 2.0 tops the range at $9,216.
