Note: If a left hand safety is installed these
directions are reversed; i.e. the safety is pushed
to the left to place the rifle ON SAFE and to the
right to place the rifle OFF SAFE.
CAUTION: Keep your fingers clear of the
ejection port at all times when the bolt is locked
open. The bolt will close with considerable force,
if you should depress the magazine follower.
The Browning semi
-
automatic high power rifle
utilizes a unique detachable box magazine. The
capacity of the magazine is four rounds (three
rounds for Magnum calibers). Another cartridge
may be carried in the chamber, providing a total
rifle capacity of five rounds (four rounds for
Magnum calibers.)
To ready the rifle for loading, first insure that the
cross-bolt safety is in the ON SAFE position.
Next, hold the rifle in a natural position with the
barrel safely pointing at the ground. If the bolt is
in its closed position, use either hand to hold the
rifle at the forearm. Then, pull rearward on the
magazine latch with the index finger of the
opposite hand, allowing the hinged floorplate
-
magazine unit to swing downward.
