Closing the bolt without loading the chamber

After loading the magazine but before closing

the bolt, depress the column of cartridges in the

magazine with your fingers while slowly sliding the

bolt about half way forward so that it overrides the

top cartridge (Fig. 7). Now, remove your fingers

and finish closing the bolt, watching to make sure

that no cartridge is pushed into the chamber (Fig.

8). leave the safety "on"!

Loading an extra cartridge

In certain hunting situations you may wish to

load the rifle with one cartridge more than the

magazine capacity. This is accomplished by

inserting an extra cartridge directly into the chamber

before closing the bolt. To prevent the bolt from

also attempting to chamber the top cartridge in the

magazine as the bolt moves forward, depress the

column of cartridges in the magazine as shown in

Fig. 7 and close the bolt on the extra cartridge.

leave the safety "on"!

Single loading

You may also use the rifle as a single-shot by

placing one cartridge at a time directly into the

chamber (or into the magazine) and closing the bolt.
