Answer

I am advised that the majority of these types of rifles imported between 1 January 2023 and 14 June 2026 were straight pull rifles. No rifles with an action type recorded as lever release (excluding lever action) were imported during this period. One push-button rifle, the Ranger Push Button, was imported. I refer the Member to the attached table, which shows the breakdown of the straight pull rifles imported.
