      Buying 8x57mm IS Rifles in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists 11 rifles chambered in 8x57 Mauser, seven of them available today, from Sauer, Sako, Mauser and Tikka. The 8x57 is a long-established European hunting cartridge, and Australian hunters use it on deer, pigs and goats, particularly in bush and timber where shots are moderate and a heavier bullet is useful.

      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. If you live interstate, order online and the rifle is transferred dealer to dealer to your nominated licensed dealer, with longarm freight $65 ($85 to WA).

      Entry is the Sauer 100 Classic XT at $1,539, with the Sauer 100 Classic from $1,694 and the Tikka T3x Hunter from $2,199. The middle of the range, around $3,400–$3,800, holds the Sako 90 Bavarian, Mauser M12 Extreme and Sako 90 Hunter, and the Sauer 505 Syncro XTC Carbon Adjustable tops the list at $9,058.

      • Prices$1,539–$9,058; typical rifle about $3,770.
      • AvailabilitySeven of the 11 are available today: Sauer 100 Classic and Classic XT, Tikka T3x Hunter, Sako 90 Bavarian, Hunter and Peak, and Mauser M12 Extreme. The Mauser M18 Waldjagd, M12 Pure and both Sauer 505 models are special order.

      For a dependable hunting rifle without a big outlay, the Sauer 100 Classic or Classic XT and the Tikka T3x Hunter are all in stock. Hunters who like a traditional walnut-stocked European rifle should look at the Sako 90 Bavarian or Mauser M12 Pure, and for carrying long distances in the hills the lighter Sako 90 Peak is available now.
