Congratulations on the purchase of your new firearm. You are now part of the Savage Sports Corporation family of quality firearms and archery equipment/ accessories, which includes Savage Arms, Inc., Savage Arms (Canada), Stevens, Fox, and BowTech Archery. With reasonable care, your firearm should deliver years of reliable service and perform to our “definition of accuracy”. THIS MANUAL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. The safety warnings and instructions in this booklet are very important.
• If you have any question about your knowledge or ability to use this or any other firearm with complete safety, you should seek supervised instruction. Personalized instruction is often available from gun dealers or gun clubs. If none of these sources is accessible, write the NATIONAL SHOOTING SPORTS FOUNDATION, 11 MILE HILL ROAD, NEWINGTON, CT 06470; 203-426-4358. They will assist you. • A person with a gun in his possession has a full-time responsibility.
23.Treat this gun as a precision instrument. 24.Old or reloaded ammunition may be dangerous. We strongly recommend against using it. 25.Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger pull. Alteration of the trigger pull usually affects sear engagement and may cause accidental discharge. Altering your gun in any way may also void your warranty. YOUR GUN IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE WHICH WILL NOT LAST FOREVER AND IS SUBJECT TO WEAR.
IF SOMETHING IS LODGED IN THE BARREL, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING ANOTHER CARTRIDGE OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR A SHELL FROM WHICH THE SHOT HAS BEEN REMOVED. SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. 5. Dirt, corrosion or other foreign matter on a cartridge can impede complete chambering and may cause the cartridge case to burst upon firing. The same is true of cartridges that are damaged or deformed. 6.
Warning Warning Never disassemble the safety mechanism. It has been correctly designed, fitted and tested. Any mechanical device can fail, however, so never rely on the safety to justify careless handling or use. Never use a firearm if the safety does not function properly. Before loading this shotgun, always check the bores to be sure they are free of grease, oil or any other obstruction. Break the action and be sure the chambers are empty and the safety is on SAFE.
FIGURE 5 FIGURE 6 HOW TO FIRE HOW TO UNLOAD THE SHOTGUN With the gun pointed at the intended target, move the safety to the FIRE position (all the way forward), aim, and pull the trigger. The selected barrel will fire. To fire the second barrel, pull the trigger again. If you don’t fire both shells, be sure to put the safety on SAFE until you are ready to shoot again.
2. Underpowered shot: an underpowered shell is unusual if the ammunition is fresh, clean, and factory loaded. However, if you hear an unusual sound or low report, you should stop immediately and proceed as follows: • As the wad and powder from the shell may still be in the barrel, you must unload the gun completely and then look through both barrels from the action end (not from the muzzle) to see if there is any obstruction. A wad can usually be removed with a cleaning rod.
NOTE: Further disassembly of your shotgun is not recommended and should be done only by a qualified gunsmith or Savage Arms Service Department. During freezing conditions, oil may congeal and cause sluggish operation of your gun, therefore it is recommended that only a very thin coat of light oil be used in these conditions. Condensation droplets of water may form soon after a cold firearm is brought into a warm room. The gun may also become wet during inclement weather.
