FIRING

When you are ready to re, move the safety in the «OFF» safe position, take aim and squeeze the trigger.

After ring, the bolt will automatically move rearward, eject the empty case you have just red and then return

forward feeding a new cartridge into the chamber.

If you want to re a second shot, take aim again and then squeeze the trigger.

When the last cartridge has been red and ejected, the bolt is held open rearward.

If you have nished ring, put the safety back in the «ON» safe position immediately.

Leave the bolt open, in the back position, for inspecting the barrel bore chamber and the magazine visually to

make sure that there are no more cartridges in the chamber or the magazine.

UNLOADING

When unloading your rie, always put the safety in the «ON» safe position and keep the muzzle aimed in a safe

direction. Keep your ngers away from the trigger.

1) Remove the magazine by pressing the magazine release (gure 5).

2) Open the bolt by pulling the bolt handle backward and eject any cartridge that may be in the chamber.

While holding the bolt in its back position, lift the bolt release lever in order to lock it into open position.

Leave the bolt in the rear position with the mechanism open (gure 6).

3) Check the inside of the chamber to make sure it is empty.

4) With the chamber empty and the magazine removed, close the bolt by depressing the bolt release lever

(gure.2).

5) Remove any cartridges remaining in the magazine by pushing them forward, and then insert the empty

magazine into the rie.

TRIGGER

Your rie has been set in our factory to give you a trigger with a sharp pull and a short movement re-

quiring a force of about 1.3 kg, which, even so, is compatible with the strictest safety considerations.

Only BROWNING personnel are authorized to adjust these settings.

LIGHT-WEIGHT TRIGGER: YOUR RIFLE HAS BEEN SET IN OUR FACTORY TO GIVE YOU A TRIGGER WITH A

SHARP PULL AND A SHORT MOVEMENT REQUIRING A FORCE OF ABOUT 1.3 KG, (+/- 100G) COMPATIBLE

WITH THE BROWNING INTERNATIONAL S.A. EUROPEAN SAFETY STANDARDS.

SCOPE MOUNT RAIL

The BAR Match possesses a scope mount rail, located on the top of the receiver, allowing you to adapt any

type of scope.

ADJUSTING THE STOCK

(cast and drop at comb)

Your BAR Match rie possesses a system for adjusting the stock’s pitch and advantage for a perfect t between

rearm and user.

RÉGLAGE DE LA PENTE ET DE L’AVANTAGE

To make this adjustment, you have 5 shims presented separately in the case and one shim already tted to

your rie in our factory (gure 8).

You can reduce or increase the pitch by more or less 3.5 mm at the heel of the stock (on the top of the recoil

pad) in comparison with the standard pitch. You can also modify the advantage by 3 mm to the left or to the

right at the heel of the stock compared with the standard advantage.

Before performing stock adjustment procedures, always place the safety in the “ON” safe position. Eject the

magazine, open the mechanism and make certain that your rie is totally unloaded. Always keep the muzzle

pointed in a safe direction.

The 6 stock shims are respectively numbered 1, 2 and 3 and 1R/1L, 2R/2L and 3R/3L.

The reference number for each stock shim is to be found in their lower left-hand corner.

The neutral shim, N° 2, is already installed on your rie.

If the pitch and the advantage suit you, do not change anything.

If your rie needs adjusting, the recoil pad will need to be dismantled (gure 9).

Then with a at screwdriver, unscrew the stock mounting screw and remove the stock and the stock shim

(gure 10 & 11).

Several situations are likely to occur:

1. The advantage of your rie is correct but you want to adjust the pitch.

• The pitch is too high: Put stock shim N° 1 in place on the stock and re-assemble in the reverse

order to dismantling.

• The pitch is too low: Put stock shim N° 3 in place on the stock and re-assemble in the reverse

order to dismantling.

2. The advantage on your rie is not correct.

• The advantage is too far left and:

- The pitch is all right: put stock shim N° 2R/2L (with the 2R inscription towards the stock) in place on
