Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key considerations for traveling with firearms between Australian states?

When traveling with firearms between Australian states, it's crucial to verify that no laws prohibit detours from the direct 'point A to point B' route for the purpose of your trip. Also, be aware that New South Wales has specific prohibited firearm features, like adjustable stocks, that may not be illegal elsewhere.

How can I ensure my firearms are inherited by specific individuals?

To ensure your firearms are passed on according to your wishes, create a legally binding will that specifically names the beneficiaries and the firearms they are to inherit. The recipient must possess the appropriate firearms license and category for the inherited firearms.

What rifle caliber is best for long-range target shooting and occasional hunting?

For target shooting extending to 800-1500 yards, the 6.5 Creedmoor is recommended due to its high ballistic coefficient. For shorter range target shooting (100-200 yards) combined with fox or deer hunting, a .308 Winchester is a versatile and readily available option.

What shotgun is recommended for hunting on foot, and is a 20-inch barrel too short?

A 20-inch barrel break-action shotgun like the Akkar 3 is preferred for hunting on foot. This design allows for rapid, controlled follow-up shots without breaking sight alignment, which is crucial for quickly engaging multiple targets like mobs of pigs.

What are the most accurate .22LR rifles available?

The Anschutz 1710 is highly recommended for accurate .22LR shooting. The CZ 457 is also noted as a very accurate alternative that can achieve excellent grouping with the right ammunition, often shooting 'hole through hole'.
