.30-30 Winchester Rifles

Buying .30-30 Winchester Rifles in Australia

Magnum Sports lists 31 rifles in .30-30 Winchester, with 12 available to order today. Henry has the biggest share, followed by Rossi, Uberti, Marlin and Chiappa, with single models from Smith & Wesson and Winchester. Most are lever actions, with a handful of single shots such as the Henry Singleshot and Uberti 1885 High Wall. The .30-30 is the classic lever-action deer and pig cartridge, best suited to scrub and timber where shots are moderate in range.

Today a centrefire lever-action or single-shot rifle in .30-30 is Category B in NSW. You need a current NSW licence covering that category and a Permit to Acquire for each rifle; since 1 July 2026 the PTA is only issued once you show you meet the safe-storage requirements, and new or renewed licences run for up to two years. NSW has passed reforms that will move lever-action rifles into Category C, but they are passed but not yet in force; current categories apply until they commence. Interstate buyers can order online for dealer-to-dealer transfer at $65 freight ($85 to WA).

The Chiappa Big Badger Rifle Black is the entry point at about $820, and Rossi R95 models start around $1,155. A typical .30-30 here is about $2,560, around the price of a Henry Classic or Marlin 336, while the Henry H9 Classic Wildlife reaches about $3,966.

For an affordable working lever gun, the Rossi R95 Classic and R95 Trapper are the in-stock value picks. The Henry Side Gate Lever Action and Henry All Weather add a loading gate and, on the All Weather, a hard-wearing finish for wet country. Buyers after a traditional rifle should look at the Uberti 1894 Carbine or Winchester M94 Deluxe Short, and the Henry Singleshot and Chiappa Little Sharps suit those who prefer a single-shot.
