W WARNING – LOCKING DEVICES This firearm was originally sold with a key- operated locking device. While it can help provide secure storage for your unloaded firearm, any locking device can fail. All Rifles are designed to fire if they are loaded and the trigger is pulled. Therefore, never install the locking device inside the trigger guard or in any way that makes it possible to pull the trigger! Do not leave the keys in the lock.
FIREARMS SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY This owner’s manual is designed to assist you in learning how to use and care for your SIG SAUER® pistol properly.

W WARNING – ALTERATIONS This product was designed to function properly in its original condition. Alterations can make it unsafe. Do not alter any part or add or substitute any parts or accessories not manufactured by SIG SAUER Inc. to be compatible with this firearm. DO NOT ALTER ANY RIFLE www.sigsauer.com 14SIG1027_OM-SSG3000-USA_MiniManual_PeaseREV05.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS 1.0 Safety Information The safety warnings in this manual are important. By understanding the dangers inherent in the use of any firearm, and by taking the precautions described herein, you can enjoy complete safety in the use of your Rifle. Failure to heed any of these warnings may result in serious injury to you or others, as well as severe damage to the firearm or other property. SIG SAUER Inc.
THE BASIC RULES OF SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING 1. ALWAYS treat every Rifle as if it were loaded. 2. ALWAYS be sure the barrel is clear of any obstruction. 3. ALWAYS be sure of your backstop, what lies beyond, and the safety of bystanders before you shoot. 4. ALWAYS use clean, dry, original factory-made ammunition of the proper type and caliber for your Rifle. 5. ALWAYS wear ear protection and safety glasses when shooting. 6.
1.1 Protect Your Eyes And Ears Always wear safety glasses and ear plugs or “earmuff” type protectors whenever you are shooting. Always make certain that persons close to you are similarly protected. Unprotected eyes may be injured by powder, gas, carbon residue, lubricant, metallic particles, or similar debris which may emanate occasionally from any firearm in normal use. Without ear protection, repeated exposure to shooting noise may lead to cumulative, permanent hearing loss. 1.2. Ammunition 1.
W WARNING – AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGE) NOTICE SIG SAUER Inc. SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY WHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THE USE IN ANY SIG SAUER FIREARM OF FAULTY, NON-STANDARD, “REMANUFACTURED” HAND LOADED (RELOADED) AMMUNITION, OR CARTRIDGES OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH THE FIREARM WAS ORIGINALLY CHAMBERED. 3.
5. Bullets can become lodged in the barrel: • If the cartridge has been improperly loaded without propellant powder, or if the powder fails to ignite (ignition of the cartridge primer alone will push the bullet out of the cartridge case, but usually does not generate sufficient energy to expel the bullet completely from the barrel); • If the bullet is not properly seated in the cartridge case.
8. Do not oil cartridges, and be sure to wipe the chamber clean of any oil or preservative before commencing to shoot. Oil interferes with the friction between cartridge case and chamber wall that is necessary for safe functioning, and subjects the firearm to stress similar to that imposed by excessive pressure. 9. Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts of your firearm. Avoid excessive spraying of any aerosol gun care product, especially where it may get on ammunition.
W WARNING – AMMUNITION Death, serious injury, and damage can result from the use of wrong ammunition, bore obstructions, powder overloads, or incorrect cartridge components. Always wear shooting glasses and hearing protectors.
2.0 Main features The SAUER SSG 3000™ precision Rifle is a manual type repeating Rifle developed to meet the specific requirements of law-enforcement and military sharp-shooters.

6.0 Safety lock The SAUER SSG 3000™ safety system is an indirect firing pin safety mechanism. It locks the trigger, the trigger stop, and the firing pin shoe and thus blocks all safety-relevant components. Its function is based on a principle proven a million times over: A single function – a single button. – The unlock slide is located within the trigger guard ahead of the trigger where it is both well protected and tactile.
6.2 Lock 1. Press down the safety lock 313 up to the stop with your thumb. – This causes the unlock slide 708 to slide downwards out of the trigger unit where it is easily controlled by the trigger finger. Note: Rifle locked: – Red mark not visible – The unlock catch can be felt with the trigger finger 708 Figure 10, Rifle locked 313 www.sigsauer.com 14SIG1027_OM-SSG3000-USA_MiniManual_PeaseREV05.
