Hi,
I think that you cannot import 0.22 cal rifles to India even if its in your personal baggage.

What disadvantage are you visualizing? As the things stand today, only recognized rifle club members are allowed to import only .177 air rifles. If you see no disadvantage why not bring it along with you.

go through them again.. Import of firearms on "Transfer of Residence" mechanism is only meaningful for "firearms" which are classified as such under the arms act.
