Read and understand this entire manual and its safety warnings before firing the
shotgun.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Remember, a firearm’s manual safety is a mechanical device which can
never replace safe gun handling practices.
Never rely on any mechanical safety device to prevent the dangers of
careless handling or pointing a firearm in an unsafe direction.
MECHANICAL SAFETY
The safety is located at the rear of the bolt (Fig. 1) and must be manually moved
to the desired position by the shooter.
To put the safety in the “ON” (SAFE) position, rotate safety cap fully to the left
(counterclockwise, approximately 1/5 turn). To put the safety in the “OFF” (FIRE)
position, rotate safety cap fully to the right (clockwise, approximately 1/5 turn).
The red dot is a training aid, used only to show the direction of the “ON” (SAFE)
position and should not be used as in indicator that the safety is “on” or “off”.
ASSEMBLY
Model 695 Bolt Action Shotguns are shipped in three major components: stock
assembly, barreled action assembly and bolt assembly.
Inspect the inside of the barrel to ensure it is free of any excess oil, grease or any
obstructions.
Fit the barreled action to the stock assembly by positioning and inserting the trig-
ger guard into the corresponding slot of the stock assembly.
Tighten the takedown screw securely with a proper size flat-head screwdriver.
The takedown screw is located forward of the magazine.
Make certain the takedown screw is tight before shooting to ensure the
action assembly is firmly bedded to the stock. A loose takedown screw
can cause product damage resulting in personal injury.
