Travelling interstate with a Rifle

 Howdy all,

 

Have any of you fellas flown interstate in recent times with a firearm?

 

Trying to line up a Sambar hunt in Vic and working out whether it's worth the muck around. 

 

Cheers

I'm no expert but need to follow Dangerous Goods Declaration

 For Ammo

Will also need to have a vistors premit from the relevant authority from the state you are traveling to and hunting in.

 Yes from WA to VIC is easy.  just follow instructions on Vicpol website and the rules for checking in firearms on your airline. 
 

other states firearm laws are relatively friendly compared to wa. 
 

hope you are going after Easter !

Qantas

Qantas is relatively straight forward. I don't think Virgin carry firearms anymore.

Start doing some cardio walking up hills mate, it will help you no end when you eventually head over.

 Yep will be going June/July.

 

Lake Dartmouth.

 

Was going to jump on a mates rifle as I thought it would be far too difficult in Aus but I'll take my 308 now it seems doable.

 

Should be good fun
