Do not load the firearm until ready for use! Unload the firearm when
shooting has been completed! The safety button should always be fully
rearward in the “ON” (SAFE) position whether or not the firearm is loaded.
Inspect the chamber and bore of the barrel for any obstruction, excessive
oil or grease. (The chamber is the rear portion of the barrel where the
cartridge will be inserted.) Obstructions of any kind can result in damage to
the firearm and/or serious personal injury to you or those around you
when the firearm is fired.
Check to be certain that the ammunition selected is the same type of
cartridge as designated on the barrel of the firearm. Failure to use cor-
rect ammunition can cause damage to your firearm and could cause
serious injury or death to you or those around you.
1. Open the action by pulling the operating handle completely rearward until it
locks in the open position. (Figure 5)
2. Load the first cartridge through the ejection port located on the right side of
the receiver. The cartridge can be inserted directly into the chamber or placed
on top of the elevator (Figure 5).
Because the bolt is under considerable spring pressure, keep fingers
clear of the operating handle and the ejection port when closing the action.
3. With the safety button fully rearward in the “ON” (SAFE) position, and the muz-
zle pointed in a safe direction, press the bolt release until the action releases
(Figure 5).
4. The action will close under spring force, chambering a live cartridge. Be sure
to keep fingers and other objects out of the ejection port!
The firearm in now loaded and will fire if the safety is moved to the
"OFF" (FIRE) position and the trigger is pulled! The safety button
(Figure 1) should be kept fully rearward in the “ON” (SAFE) position
until you are on target and have actually decided to fire. Keep the
muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times, and your fingers and
any other objects away from the trigger area.
