12 Care
12.1 General remarks
Proper functioning and precision of the gun can
only be maintained through regular and expert
care. The gun must be cleaned and protected
against corrosion after each use. The bore must
be cleaned and protected against corrosion after
each firing. Wooden stocks must be treated with a
suitable agent in accordance with the
corresponding instructions and must be protected
against the weather.
For the optimum care for your SSG 3000 we
recommend SAUER care products, e.g. the
SAUER Premium gun grease.
