Hi from USA

Hello everyone:

I'm an American college student, and I'm thinking about studying abroad in New Zealand next year. I love guns and target shooting, so I want to go somewhere where the local laws are acceptable. It'd be great if I could get some hunting done also. I also want to go somewhere warm and English-speaking, so I think New Zealand would be best.

I have a lot of questions, but the first and most important one would be if its easier for me to bring down my own guns, or would it be easier for me to buy something in New Zealand?

I currently own a Mosin M91/30 in 7.62x54r, a Savage 110 in .30-06, a Beretta 92FS INOX Compact in 9x19, and a Zastava M57A in 7.62x25. I might add a few guns to my collection before I leave the US.

Thanks in advance :)

Welcome to the forum. You will need to obtain a New Zealand Firearms License before you are able to bring those rifles into the country. A good place to start would be doing some research on the New Zealand Police website. New Zealand Police | Nga Pirihimana O Aotearoa

welcome:thumbsup:

Welcome
Don't bother trying to bring the pistols with you.
We may have reasonably relaxed firearm rules compared to some places but you need to belong to a club here to hold a pistol licence and use is restricted.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome mate! I'm down at the University of Otago and if you end up down my way I'd be more than happy to take you out for a shoot.
