•WARNING: Before loading your rifle,
always check the bore and chamber to
be sure they are free of grease, oil or
any other obstruction.
• WARNING: Your self-loading rifle is not
designed to be single-loaded and IT
WILL NOT FIRE unless the magazine is
locked in place. Always load cartridges
through the magazine as directed. Never
use the magazine disconnector as the
primary safety or as an excuse for
unsafe firearm handling.
1. Place safety on “SAFE”.
2. Depress the magazine release latch
(See C) and remove the magazine from
the rifle.
3. Pull bolt charging handle back and hold.
4. Push the bolt control lever up to the
“OPEN” position as indicated on the trig-
ger guard (See G).
5. Insert up to 10 cartridges (7 for the
70PSS) as shown in D. With the rifle point-
ed in a safe direction, replace the loaded
magazine, being sure it locks in place.
6. Keeping fingers away from the trigger,
push the bolt control lever down to the
“CLOSE” position as indicated on the trig-
ger guard (See H).
NOTE: Allow bolt to slam shut freely. Do
not attempt to assist the closing of the bolt
with your hand.
Cocked and Ready
1. Your self-loading rifle is cocked for fir-
ing as soon as the bolt is closed during the
loading operation as described above.
2. The rifle is ready to fire as soon as the
safety is pushed to the “FIRE” (off
“SAFE”) position.
How to Fire
1. Push the safety to the “FIRE” position
and, with the rifle pointed at the target,
squeeze the trigger. Since your rifle is
self-loading, it is ready to fire again after
each shot.
2. If you have not fired all cartridges in
the magazine at the target, be sure to
move the safety to the “SAFE” position
until you are ready to shoot again.
•WARNING: Because of its self-loading
action, if the bolt of your rifle is completely
closed, you must assume that it is cocked
and loaded.
How to Unload
• WARNING: Before you unload, be sure
that the safety is on “SAFE” and the rifle is
pointed in a safe direction. Also, keep your
fingers away from the muzzle of the rifle.
1. Depress the magazine release latch
as shown in C and pull the magazine out
of the rifle.
