Paul pretty much said all as it is here today,covid has allso had an effect i think as harder to get stock delivered now so if you want something not in stock it has to be ordered by dealers ,and since the government has now effectivly banned many types of airguns the choices have become more limited but unless you want pcps which now require a firearms licence to own,there are still plenty of good airguns to choose from,tho choice is more limited to what it used to be,so most can find an airgun that suits their purpose.

FX. Air Arms, Daystate, HW, Gamo. Others too, but no one really stocks too much stuff, so there's often a wait.
Pistol grips, and arrow shooting pcps are restricted, but most over powered springers and gas rams all available. Top end race guns like Styer, hammerli, FWB can be got, but waits on them too.

thats a tricky one to answer,legally you should have no probs with the co2 rifle,but in practice the way our customs and police work these days with anything to do with all types of guns its likely to be a bit of a lottery whether you get it thru customs,contact nz customs as you will proberly need an import permit of some kind before you arrive here that specifys that exact rifle etc,i wouldnt just turn up here without a prearranged import permit or you may lose your rifle,the system is a real mess here now due to government recently passing new gun laws that are not exactly clear on many issuses so customs tend to interperate the law to suit themselves mate,they have bassicaly banned private importation of most airguns for purely political reasons tho law dosnt actually ban private imports customs and police are actually doing so in effect,like i said bit of a lottery mate only your chances of wining dont look good as things are now,its very different today to what had been for most my life all because of a mass murder commited by an Aussie in christchuch just recently,they have come down really hard on all types of guns in an emoitional over reaction to this incident,they set out to ban all militry type semi auto rifles and decided to ban just bout everything else at same time for nothing but the political agenda of a very left wing government we have today

I have a co2 air rifle and would like to bring it with, would it be a difficult process or should i leave it and buy one once there?

I have my license, but these others are looking to buy pcps.
You can get any caliber, and any power spring or co2 powered gun without a license.
You can also have a pcp pistol without one.

Good morning from NZ. Where in NZ are you going to live? There's a couple of South Africans here in Wellington that are in the same boat, in that they are waiting to get their licenses, so are shooting spring guns.

We don't have quite the selection in NZ as in other countries, but there are two main shops in the Auckland region that seem to keep NZ happy.
Youngs Airguns, and Aiguns NZ.
