NEVER LEAN A CHARGED AND PRIMED RIFLE AGAINST A
TREE, A WALL OR ANY SURFACE WHERE IT MAY FALL OVER.
Once a rifle has been charged and primed it is your responsibility to
protect against any situation that may result in an accidental discharge.
Failure to follow this rule may cause serious injury and/or death to the
shooter or bystanders and damage to property.
APPROPRIATE USE FOR YOUR FIREARM MEANS USING YOUR
FIREARM FOR LEGAL PURPOSES.
It is your responsibility to ensure
that you are in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and Local
laws and ordinances regarding the use of your firearm where you
intend to use it.
NEVER SOLEY RELY ON MECHANICAL FEATURES SUCH AS A
SAFETY.
Mechanical features such as safeties can fail and should
never be exclusively relied upon with disregard to proper safe firearms
handling. Only by following the safe firearm-handling procedures in this
manual will the safe use of your firearm be assured. You are
responsible for always following these safe firearm handling rules.
NEVER KEEP AMMUNITION AND LOADING COMPONENTS IN
THE SAME LOCATION AS THE FIREARM.
Store each in a separate
and secure place to avoid children or unauthorized users from
obtaining them.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND EAR PROTECTION THAT ARE
SPECIFIED FOR USE WITH FIREARMS
every time you handle your
firearm for loading, firing, cleaning, or maintenance. Make sure that all
bystanders where
you will be shooting are also wearing the proper eye
and ear protection.
NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE ALCOHOL OR
DRUGS BEFORE OR WHILE SHOOTING.
In addition do not use your
firearm if you are on any medication which impairs, even slightly, your
mental or physical ability. You should also not use your firearm if you
are excessively tired, distracted, or impaired in any way. You need to
be alert and have your full attention devoted to the safe use of the
firearm.
ALWAYS HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHEN DISCHARGING
A FIREARM.
Discharging a firearm in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning
firearms, or handling ammunition and loading components may result
in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth
defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Review
the warnings and labels for all ammunition, loading components, and
cleaning products carefully. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
