General Safety Rules
– Before loading the firearm, always check,
whether there are oil residues or other
foreign matter in the chamber or barrel.
Oil residues in chamber or barrel may
cause distinct shifts in the point of impact!
Foreign matter in the barrel (e.g. water,
snow, soil) may cause a detonation of
the barrel, leading to severe injuries of
the shooter or persons in the vicinity!
Ensure that no foreign matter can enter
the barrel, also during use!
– Only use ammunition which meets the CIP
requirements, in particular with regards
to the maximum gas pressures P
max accor-
ding to CIP regulations. Every Blaser rifle is
controlled and tested by the state proof-
house according to the requirements of
the proofing-law and -regulations, using
proof cartridges exceeding the maximal
allowed gas pressure P
max by a minimum
of 30%. If gas pressures exceed proof-level,
the safety of the user and/or third parties
can no longer be guaranteed. The same
applies to cartridge cases, where the seal
function is no longer correct through
obturation.
– Load your firearm only immediately
before use.
– Disengage from safe position (cock) your
firearm only immediately before shooting.
Hold barrel into a direction out of danger
during disengaging (cocking).
– Check the surrounding area, before
every shot.
– Point your firearm only at a target,
which you have clearly identified.
– Only put your finger on the trigger,
when you want to shoot.
– Only fire a shot, when a secure back
stop exists.
– When a cartridge fails, wait approx.
60 seconds before opening the action,
to avoid danger through hang-fire.
– Wear hearing protection during shooting.
Unload your firearm:
– before crossing obstacles,
– before climbing and leaving raised hides,
– before entering a building,
– before climbing into a vehicle,
– before entering a built area,
