M. SAFETY SYSTEMS

1. All Eclipse Series rifles are equipped

with an Auto Safety. The automatic trig-

ger safety is located at the rear of the

trigger guard. This safety is designed to

automatically engage each time the bolt

falls forward. To disengage the safety,

press the safety button to the rear. Green

indicates safety-on, red is safety-off (Fig-

ure 9).

2. All Staghorn Series rifles are equipped

with a manual safety. The manual safety

is engaged by pulling the bolt to the

rear until it locks in position; then sim-

ply flip the cocking bolt upward until it

engages the breech notch. The gun will

then be on "safe". To disengage the

safety, flip the locking bolt down into

the cocked or "fire" position (Fig. 10).

3. All Firebolt™, MagBolt™ and

HunterBolt™ Series bolt action rifles

are equipped with a trigger blocking

safety, which is located behind the trig-

ger guard. This safety should not be

confused with the automatic safety

found on Eclipse series rifles. The

safety should manually be engaged to

the forward (green) position for safe

setting (Fig. 11).

WARNING: Never rely on any mechanical safety.
