Desert Tech. Would have a longer barrel than on this link, maybe a 26 inch barrel.

Bolt action bullpup rifle. Would this be legal in NSW?

Actually might need to scrap that idea. I saw two of these rifles on the range over the weekend and thought that looks good, looks like about a $6000 rifle; not cheap but maybe worth it. Turns out after researching, it is a $13,000 rifle. Looking for short rifles with long barrels so they will fit sideways on a motorbike, without the folding stock which is prohibited in NSW, which really means a bullpup. Seems I need to keep looking.
I still beat the two guys with the Desert Techs in the match though, with a much cheaper rifle

Queensland has 10 year licences, like for like pta swaps, 6 month pta expiry, unlimited cat A mags, get firearms posted to your house where other states can only send to dealer, buy any calibre of ammo so long as its under 1 inch. There is appearance laws in Queensland but not to the extent of New South, appearance laws are crazy down there.
New South has 50bmg and state forrest hunting. Thats the only thing better down there. But they still cant have gel blasters if you can believe it.
Just a few things to think about.

Vice has folding stocks as well.
And we have lots of public land for hunting, so we don't need gel blasters
Why would you need a PtA that lasts longer than a week or two at most?

Longer the better. You might be waiting on a gun to come in from overseas or something. Or your local dealer does not have it so you need it sent from another dealer. QLD PTAs(form 28) only have have the dealer, calibre and action listed. So if your PTA is for a 308 pump then you can buy any brand 308 pump. Also you can submit your PTA when you apply for your licence so the 28 day waiting period is void because you are already waiting for your licence.
