Yes Ive done it. What you have to do is find an exporter in the US. Basically the person/dealer you buy the rifle off forwards it to the Exporter who then forwards it to you for a fee. All you have to do is get a permit to import from NZ which is forwarded to Exporeter, along with a letter asking Exporter to organise freight/shipping to NZ. In the letter you need to include the fact that the the rifle is not for resale purposes, plus cost of rifle plus details make model.

Exporter forwards the copy of your Permit plus letter to appropriate US authorities for offical documentation.

I drooled over gunbroker for years and always thought it wasnt possible, but hey it can be done(A cat anyway).....can give you contact details for an exporter if you want.
