C. Push the bolt fully forward and rotate the bolt handle clockwise and down to
the “closed bolt” position. Observe the end of the bolt. The round flat end of the
striker is the cocking indicator. When it is flush with the outside ring of the bolt
cap, it indicates the rifle is cocked and will fire if the rifle is loaded (Fig. 4), the
safety lever is moved to the “OFF” (FIRE) position, and the trigger is pulled.
When the rifle is fired, the cocking indicator will snap forward and be recessed
approximately 3/16" from the edge of the bolt cap (Fig. 5).
The bolt can be operated with the safety lever in either the “ON” (SAFE) or “OFF”
(FIRE) position.
LOADING YOUR RIFLE
Before loading, move the safety lever fully rearward to the “ON” (SAFE)
position.
Before loading, visually and physically inspect the chamber and bore of
the barrel for any obstruction, excessive oil or grease. (The chamber is
the rear portion of the barrel which contains the cartridge.) Obstructions
of any kind can cause damage to the firearm and may result in serious
personal injury to the shooter and/or others nearby.
During loading never allow fingers or any objects to contact the trigger.
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times.
