About Hamills Precision

A family firearms and outdoors retailer on Tongariro Street, supplying New Zealand shooters and hunters since 1955.

Advice First, Gear Second

We sell firearms, optics, ammunition and accessories, and we sell them the way a good gun shop always has: by asking what you are shooting, where, and how often, before we point you at a rifle. Everyone behind the counter shoots. If a product is not right for what you are doing, we will tell you so.

Staffed by Shooters

Our team uses the rifles, optics and loads we stock. The advice you get across the counter comes from range time and field time, not a spec sheet.

Compliance Done Properly

Every firearm transfer is handled under the Arms Act 1983. We sight a current firearms licence and photo ID at handover, every time, without exception.

New Zealand Only

We supply New Zealand customers, price in New Zealand dollars and ship within New Zealand. We do not ship overseas.

How Buying From Us Works

Firearms are not ordinary freight, and we do not pretend otherwise. Here is what to expect when you order.

Firearms Go to a Dealer or Depot

Firearms are never delivered to a home address. Your firearm goes to a licensed firearms dealer or a Mainfreight depot, or you collect it from us in Taupō.

Licence and ID at Handover

A current New Zealand firearms licence and photo ID are sighted when the firearm is handed over. Without both, the firearm cannot be released.

Ammunition Has Limits

Ammunition is a dangerous good in transit. Rural delivery restrictions apply, and some addresses cannot be served. We will contact you if yours is affected.

Optics and Accessories Ship Normally

Scopes, mounts, cleaning gear and accessories go straight to your door. Free over $299.99 NZD, otherwise from $8.50.
