I daresay rules & regulations vary state to state.
People I know who shoot have decided to sell up this side & take the money to buy what they need once they get there.

I went through it all with OH who has guns and he wanted to take them. There may be a few minor discrepencies as this was a few months ago. Will try and find the form from customs that mentions this unless someone else has done that for you.
Hope this helps.

Target shooting with .22 rifle!
Hi, I wish to undertake target shooting once I move to Australia. The shooting would be done with a .22 Rimfire. How does one go about gaining a licence to own such a firearm in Australia, is there a different law for each state. I understand that this type of gun would be a Category A, what extra requirements are there to be able to use/own a Category B firearm i.e. centrefire rifle?

there are loads of clubs out there in all states its just a case of looking up the clubs on the net.you will need a gun cabinet fitted in your house which will be checked by the police.iv looked up shooting in the area im moving to and been intouch with a club and every one was really helpful.im into pistol shooting and its very strict there but thats a good thing .any way when you get to your area just look in the phone book and join a club. people there will help you decide what type of shooting best suits you.in the meen time dont get a play station there for kids but a speed boat sounds nice mr bushpig
