Owner's Manual

1 With a cartridge in the chamber, you need only to thumb the

hammer rearward to its full-cock position to make the rifle ready

for firing. Cycling the lever to place a cartridge in the chamber will

also leave the hammer in the full-cock (ready-to-fire) position.

2 Take aim and squeeze the trigger to fire the rifle.

3 After each shot, you may lower the finger lever to open the bolt,

extract and eject the empty cartridge case. At the bottom of the

stroke, resistance will be felt as the finger lever raises the front

end of the carrier and aligns the next cartridge with the chamber.

When you raise the lever, the bolt will pick up the next cartridge

from the magazine and push it into the chamber. Be sure you cycle

the lever completely. Because fired cases are ejected to the side,

bystanders should not stand to the side of the shooter.

4 You may continue to fire the rifle in this manner until the

magazine is empty. When you are finished shooting, immediately

place the hammer in the half-cock, fully forward position.

UNLOADING

WHILE UNLOADING YOUR RIFLE ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED

IN A SAFE DIRECTION, AND YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS

INJURY OR DEATH.

1 Carefully remove any cartridge in the chamber by swinging the

finger lever downward.

2 With the lever still in the down position, remove the magazine

from the rifle.

3 The chamber should then be inspected to make sure all cartridges

have been removed from the rifle.
