FIRING THE RIFLE

Firing Preparation

Before firing your rifle, practice your stance, aim, rhythm and breathing for a steady aim

with your firearm unloaded. You should practice firing on a range before going hunting or

before using your firearm for any other type of shooting.

1. Always wear eye and ear protection when firing your weapon.

2. Load firearm as previously described.

3. Grasp firearm with one hand on handguard and the other hand on the pistol grip with

trigger finger resting along side of the trigger guard. Raise firearm and pull buttstock

firmly into shoulder.

4. Aim by aligning your scope with the target. (Scope not included)

5. Move selector to “FIRE”.

6. Keeping steady aim, place trigger finger on trigger and gently squeeze until trigger

releases hammer. Do not jerk trigger as you will disturb your aim and ruin your

accuracy. To fire the next round and subsequent rounds, all that is necessary is to

release the trigger and gently squeeze the trigger again after every shot until you are

finished firing or the magazine is emptied.

7. This is a semi-automatic firearm and is immediately loaded and ready to fire after each

shot until the magazine is empty and the last round in the chamber has been fired.

8. Release trigger, remove finger from trigger and set selector lever to “SAFE.” If you

have fired the last round from magazine, the bolt assembly will not be held to the rear,

so you will need to pull back the bolt to ensure the chamber is empty.

9. Important! This rifle will fire a chambered round with the magazine removed.

Attention: No bolt hold open device for last round!

MOUNTING OPTICS

The Panther .22LR rifle has either a flattop upper receiver featuring a MIL-STD-1913

Picatinny rail on top, or an A2 upper receiver.

The rail will accept Weaver-based rings and mounts. Standard size rings will be sufficient for

scopes with objective diameters less than 40mm. Larger diameter scopes, depending on the

size of the objective lens, may need either a riser or high rings.

The A2 upper receiver features a scope hole mount for many of the A2 mounting systems.
