Care And Maintenance Of Your Air Rifle
An internal protective coating applied at the manufacturer may cause a “soft flat” sound on initial
firing. This is normal. The firing of several rounds of pellets will remove the excess lubricant and a
normal sound will result.
Barrel Maintenance
A dirty barrel may affect your accuracy. Every few thousand shots pass a lightly oiled patch through
the barrel starting from the breech end and going towards the muzzle. Your air rifle may be cocked
during this process, and should be safely discharged before storage.

Storage
Do not store your air rifle in damp areas, or areas of extreme hot or cold. Unload and discharge your
air rifle before storage and ensure the safety is in the “SAFE” position.
WARNING: Modification of this air rifle mechanism may cause an air rifle to
malfunction, and tampering with an air rifle may make it unsafe to use; any change in the
performance, such as lowered trigger travel, indicates possible wear and that such air rifles
should be inspected, replaced or properly repaired; repairs should only be performed by a
qualified airgunsmith. Instructions shall include a warning to check any air rifle that has
been dropped to ensure that its function has not been affected.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE SAFETY IS “ON” AND KEEP YOUR FINGERS OUTSIDE
THE TRIGGER GUARD DURING CLEANING.
CAUTION: YOUR AIR RIFLE SHOULD ALWAYS BE STORED AWAY FROM THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
Sight Picture
What you see when you are aiming at a target is
called the “Sight Picture.” For accurate shooting
this relationship of sights and target must be
correct and above all consistent from shot to shot.
THE OPEN SIGHT: The front sight is usually
either a post or a post with a “bead.” The open
rear sight is usually attached just in front of the
breech. It has a “U” or “V” notch. Some airguns
give you an assortment of rear notches. There are
three correct sight pictures.
1 The “6 o’clock” hold is best for target
shooting since it gives a clear cut reference
point. The post is centered in the rear notch
Aperture Sight
Some air rifles are equipped with an aperture
sight (also known as receiver, peep, or diopter
sight). It may be purchased as an option for
some air rifles. This is a very easy sight to use
and it is far more accurate and faster than an
open sight because there is less guesswork in its
use and the distance between front and rear
sights (“sight span”) is much greater. To use an
aperture sight, just look through the aperture or
“peep,” find the front sight, and put the front
sight on the target. When looking through the
with the top of the post level with the top of the
notch. Maintaining this relationship, place the
post just under the “bullseye” so that the bullseye
appears to be sitting right on top of, or above the
post. The sights are adjusted so the pellets strike
above this point in the center of the target.
2 The “point of aim” hold is considered the best
for field use. The relationship of front and
rear sights are set so pellets strike exactly
where the sights point at the distance the
airgun is “sighted in.”
3 If your air rifle has a “bead” front sight, this
is the correct sight picture. With a bead front,
the “Point of Aim” hold is best.
receiver sight try to ignore the aperture, do not
try to “center” the front sight. The human eye
cannot focus on three objects so far apart. The eye
will automatically seek the strongest source of
light coming through the aperture and this
automatically centers the front sight. If you
should install an aperture sight on an air rifle that
has an open sight already on it, remove the rear
sight after lining up the receiver sight with it
(Aperture sights are not suitable for air pistols).
NOTE: Most air rifles will require a barrel angle
correction before installing an aperture sight.
Telescopic Sight
This is the simplest and fastest to use of all since
it has magnification and only one plane of focus.
Also many scopes actually gather light or allow
shooting when it would be too dark for iron
sights. Put the crosshairs on your target and
shoot. Adjust as per scope instructions. NOTE:
Be sure that the scope that you put on your
airgun is designed specifically for airgun use.
Most scopes for firearms are parallax adjusted to
50 meters, where as airgun scopes are parallax
adjusted at 10 meters. The scope must be factory
adjusted for correct airgun range or have a
properly set adjustable “Range Focus” dial at the
front end of the scope tube or you will shoot
inaccurately, as much as half-inch off at 25 yards
(12mm at 23m).
