9. Mounting of Scope
The Blaser S 2 (S 2 Safari) is prepared for
installation of the Original Blaser saddle
mount (DBP). We assume that your scope
has been mounted correctly by your specia-
lized dealer on the barrel assigned to it.
Installing scope
• Open lid of rear and front mount lever and
ensure that both are swivelled all the way
to the front /up.
• Hold rifle at the forearm with your left
hand, support buttstock on your thigh.
• Hold scope with your right hand at the
centre tube, above the mount, so that you
can reach the front lever with your thumb.
• Insert the two round studs at the scope
mount carefully into the two oval holes
sunk into the upper right side of the
barrel, tilt scope to the left onto the
barrel and hold it in this position.
• Press the (opened) mount levers, first the
one in front and then the one in the back,
backwards/downwards with your thumb,
until they reach their stop position
(tension!). If this is too easy or requires
force, then the mount is maladjusted.
Have your dealer correct this according
to works instructions.
• Now close the two lids of the mount
levers.
Please ensure that the engaging surfaces
are clean and free from grease!
9.1.
Removing scope
• Hold the rifle with your left hand at the
forearm and support it on your thigh.
• Open both lids of the mount levers.
• First swivel the rear lever with your
thumb all the way to the front/up - until
it reaches the stop.
• Grip scope with your right hand at the
centre tube and hold it.
• Now swivel the mount lever at the front
with your thumb all the way to the
front/up - until it reaches the stop.
• Tilt scope to the right and remove it.
CAUTION:
If the distance between eye and scope is too
short and if the rifle is not seated correctly
at your shoulder, injuries are not to be
excluded when shooting with large calibres.
Especially in case of the model S 2 Safari, care
has to be taken that the distance between
scope and eye is appropriate and that the
rifle is seated correctly at the shoulder,
or else the use of a rifle scope has to be
dispensed with.
9.2.
Only use products for the care of your rifle,
which are destined for this purpose.
Barrels:
Treat exterior and interior of chamber and
barrels with a suitable gun oil after shooting,
before storing the rifle for prolonged periods
of time, and after carrying the rifle, especially
in humid or wet conditions. Prior to shooting,
barrels and chamber have to be thoroughly
de-oiled again. In case of thick deposits of
bullet residues, we recommend to use
chemical barrel cleaners.
CAUTION:
Under all circumstances, observe instruc-
tions and warnings given by the product
manufacturer for use of product.
Metal parts:
Keep all metal parts of the rifle which are
accessible from outside clean and slightly
oiled at all times.
Stock preservative is not suitable
for polishing metal parts!
Stocks:
All wooden stocks of Blaser hunting rifles
are oil-rubbed. We recommend polishing
them regularly with standard stock care
products.
Gun oil is not suitable for stock care!
Optics:
Please refer to care instructions of the optics
manufacturer.
CAUTION:
When oiling hunting rifles, care has to be
taken that no oil or grease gets into the trigger
and action system. Under certain conditions,
oil and grease can resinify (harden), causing
dangerous disruptions of functioning. Please
have your rifle checked by your specialised
dealer prior to each hunting season or hun-
ting trip. Every rifle is a piece of technical
equipment requiring regular checks.
