Owner's Manual

2 Load cartridges by pressing

them straight downward

in the magazine until they

are retained by the rim of

the magazine.

LOADING THE CHAMBER

1 Inspect the chamber to be sure

that the chamber is empty.

Close the bolt by swinging the

finger lever completely upward.

2 Lower the hammer to the

half-cock position and fold the hammer forward.

3 Insert a loaded magazine into the rifle until it is retained. A sharp,

metallic click will indicate that the magazine is fully inserted and

engaged with the magazine latch.

4 With the rifle pointed in a safe direction, a cartridge can be

chambered by cycling the finger lever. Cycling the lever to place a

cartridge in the chamber will leave the hammer in the full-cock

(ready-to-fire) position.

5 After cycling the finger lever and chambering a cartridge from

the magazine, carefully lower the hammer to the half-cock,

folded forward position.

For maximum safety, never chamber a cartridge until shooting

is imminent.

FIRING

NEVER CHAMBER A CARTRIDGE OR MOVE THE HAMMER FROM THE

FOLDED FORWARD POSITION UNLESS SHOOTING IS IMMINENT. ALWAYS

KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW

THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
