Mathias Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hi, would like to buy a rifle in UK and bring it to Austria. Have found londongunservice as a address for gun export. Wrote them a couple of days ago, no info up to now received. Do you have additional addresses, information for me? Cheers Mathias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Better is to get on the plane or drive over and take it back with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Better is to get on the plane or drive over and take it back with you If only it was that simple. Even with the EFP system it still doesn't allow for purchase in one State -Firearms that are already held can only be added. Even though I hold licences in two different countries the logistics of getting some of my firearms over from one to the other is outstanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I've sold guns to people in Croatia off my firearms license after talking to my firearms officer and was no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathias Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Good morning! to go to UK and bring the gun to Austria is from my point of view not possible. Also it doesn't work from Germany to Austria, but to send the gun from an authorized dealer in Germany to an authorized dealer in Austria is the easiest thing you can think off and dirt cheap. @dodeer which postage company have you chosen for sending the guns? appr. prices?

Mathias Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Spoke to londongunservice before. I think I know why they didn´t answer. Shipping costs for 1 rifle appr. 800-1200 gpb. Wrote as rifle value 600, so... As I don´t find any info on the web from somebody from Austria or Germany or France who imported a gun from UK, it seems to be too difficult / expensive.

Try to get more info on door to door delivery and a price increase when more weapons are sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 What gun is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathias Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 The gun would be a CZ or Savage or Ruger in caliber 22-250. In Austria and Germany this caliber is very rare and used guns more or less not available. CZ 550, Savage 12, Ruger 77 in 22-250 you find in every corner in UK, Northern Ireland,... It must be a varmint version with 25-26" barrel. Savage 12 would be my favorite. There are a couple online and I wrote to every dealer. 90% no response (which I understand), 10% no international shipping (which I learned now why) Seems I will have to buy a new Tikka T3x light with the standard barrel.
