Operation Manual

Step 5. AIM AT

SAFE TARGET

Aim at a safe target. To be a

consistent marksman, use the

correct sight picture each time

you fire the gun. (See Fig. 7.)

CAUTION: Due to the

power of this gun, use extra

caution in selecting a safe tar-

get backstop. These models

should not be used with BB gun target backstops. Pick targets that cannot be penetrat-

ed or that will not cause a ricochet because of their hard surfaces. Use only targets and

traps that are designed for use with high-powered pellet guns. Do not shoot at water.

See pages 14 and 15 on selecting a safe target.

Step 6. TAKE “OFF” SAFETY

When you are certain that the target, backstop and surrounding area are safe, move the

safety fully to the rear-down position – RED DOT SHOWING (See Fig. 2b). Your gun is

ready to shoot. Pulling the trigger now will fire a pellet from the gun. In this condition, it

should be handled with extreme care.

Step 7. FIRE

The rifle can be fired after completing the above operation steps. After making sure the

gun is pointed in a safe direction, gently but firmly, squeeze the trigger.

WARNING: If a pellet does not fire after completing the operation steps, the gun

may be jammed. An unfired projectile in the barrel can be a dangerous situation. Keep

gun pointed in a safe direction and repeat all operation steps except Step 3. If a projec-

tile still does not fire, do the following:

1. Put “ON” safety - NO RED DOT SHOWING. (See Fig. 2a)

2. Cock the gun and leave the barrel open with the safety on.

3. Clear barrel by running a cleaning rod through from muzzle end.

4. Repeat operation steps.

If after following the firing procedure the pellet does not fire, your gun should be returned

to the factory. (See “Repair of Winchester Air Rifles”)

UNLOAD PELLET

It is preferable to fire the pellet at a safe target to unload the gun. If this is not practical,

put “ON” safety, cock the gun to open the barrel and push the pellet from the chamber

by running a cleaning rod through the muzzle end. Close the barrel, take “OFF” safety

and fire the gun in a safe direction.
