I pretty sure this has been discussed before but I can't find the thread.
I want to take my .20cal air rifle to Baja (pump-up, not CO2):
1. I seem to remember that there was a caliber size restriction, the .177 and the .20 OK but the .22 not?
2. Is it better to bury it way deep and play dumb or have it in plain view?

Don't do it!!!
While guns "Are legal" in México you must have them registered with the SEDENA (Mexican Department of Defense) and they must be for your or your
properties protection. You can belong to a "Club de Caza y Tiro" and use them for hunting or on a shooting range and thus travel with yoour firearms
within mexico.
As for BB guns and rifles, no worry, they are legal, pump or CO2, no permits required.
So much for that, now to answer your question about bringing them....DO NOT!!! They are not allowed across, nada, not bb guns, nada, not even
paintball guns. If you were to get caught at the border with them you are at minimum looking at your vehicle and all possesions confiscated and you
and whoever is with you hauled to the Ministerio Publico Federal. No weapons whatsoever are allowed across just like that.
You can import them if you belong to a hunting club but not just drive across. There is no tax on them, only confiscation and straight slammer,
federal.
What goes on within the country is one story, what goes on at the border and the customs laws is another.

Well now, This is very interesting. And you know, I somehow get the distinction between internal and border. This could be true. So mi amigos, how
did you get your guns thru the border - on the dashboard or in a giant jar of p-nut butter??
Me thinks Flowers may well have a point to consider.

Before I brought mine down I asked at the border about pellet guns. The lady said absolutely not and did I have the pellet gun with me? I said no but
she searched the car pretty well and told me that pellet guns were not legal in Mexico. Maybe she meant for tourists, I don't know. Anyway for that
reason I hid it pretty well when I did bring it down.

My advice is to not bring the pellet gun. "You'll shoot you eye out"
