LOADING THE MAGAZINE

To load the magazine, press the rim of the

cartridge against the magazine rotor at the

widest section of the magazine throat until

the cartridge enters far enough to be

pushed to the rear end of the magazine.

Each succeeding cartridge is pressed against

the body of the top cartridge and slid to the

rear of the magazine until a maximum of

ten (10) .22 LR cartridges are in the

magazine.

TO LOAD AND FIRE (WITH MAGAZINE)

Practice this important aspect of gun handling (with an unloaded rifle) until you

can perform each of the steps – described below – with skill and confidence. But

before you do anything with the rifle, please first read completely through this

manual.

1. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. (See Rule 2, p. 31.)

2. Pull the bolt handle rearward. Engage the bolt lock so that the bolt is held open.

(See p. 11.) Check the chamber to be certain it is empty. Engage the safety. (See

Figure 2, p. 9.)

Figure 4. The safety should be “on” when the magazine is being removed or inserted. Move the

magazine release forward (Figure 4a) and draw the magazine out by grasping it between your

thumb and forefinger and draw it out of the gun (Figure 4b).

3. Remove the magazine by using your index finger to push forward on the

magazine release (Figure 4a) and at the same time grasp the magazine

between thumb and forefinger of the other hand to draw it out of the

magazine well. (See Figure 4b.)
