The Stock is for my Australian rifle , so it’s not being imported into NZ .
Stockys doesn’t export so it’s areal pain in the Bum to get one .
In Australia there are companies/ agents who import firearms/ firearm related gear so I’ve had to use one of them .
They purchase the goods in the USA , then batch them all up and ship them in a shipping container usually about twice a year .
They do all the import permits etc , but my Stock doesn’t require anything like that .
My NZ rifle ( Tikka ) wears a Hi-Tec stock which is very good and I highly recommend them .
The reason I’ve bought the Stockys is that I couldn’t find any other Carbon Howa 1500 SA Stock designed for a heavy barrel which one of my Australian Howa’s has , my other one has a Sporter barrel and now sits in a Hi-Tec

PS- the Stock cost me $670.00 au delivered to my door
