The barrel and action of this rifle have been made with substantial
safety margins over the pressures developed by established American
loads. However, we assume no responsibility for incidents which occur
through the use of cartridges of nonstandard dimension or those
developing pressures in excess of SAAMI (Sporting Arms and
Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute) established standards.
MAGAZINE CAPACITY

cartridges for standard calibers and three cartridges for magnum and
WSM calibers. Another cartridge may be carried in the chamber,
providing a total rifle capacity of five cartridges for standard calibers

floorplate is 10 cartridges. Another cartridge may be carried in the
chamber, providing a total rifle capacity of 11 cartridges Remember,
