2. ASSEMBLING AND STRIPPING THE RIFLE

2A Assembling

Rifles are normally delivered to customers complete in their transit case in which instance

he stripping instructions should be read before the assembly instructions. If, however, the

rifles are broken down for transport without a transit case then the following instructions

should be followed:

A1 Bipod

Fit the bipod by inserting the spigot on the bipod into the socket at the front of the rifle

forend. The rifle can now be turned over and the bipod feet put on a flat surface while

the other parts are fitted. The bipod can easily be removed by pushing the release

button under the forend and withdrawn.

A2 Sight/Mount

Install the sight/mount unit by first ensuring that the mount base tightening screws are

sufficiently loose to allow the clamping bar to move outward enough to enable the

complete unit to be rolled on to the sight rail from the left side, on top of the action

body.

Locate the recoil pin in the base of the mount. With this towards the muzzle, place

the mount on top of the action body with the recoil pin in a position adjacent to one of

the two special recoil ‘pockets’ on top of and at the front of the receiver sight rail. The

sight mount assembly should roll on when the recoil pin enters the recoil pocket.

Ensure that the action rail and sight mount are clean prior to assembly.

BEFORE TIGHTENING THE SCREWS PUSH THE SIGHT TOWARDS THE

MUZZLE SO THAT THE RECOIL PIN RESTS AGAINST THE FRON EDGE OF THE

RECOIL POCKET.

FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE RECOIL PIN

Whilst holding the sight in this position tighten the screws. If the sight is always fitted

in this way there will be no loss of zero during removal and replacement.

Note: Failure to push the pin to the front of the pocket and/or failing to tighten

screws sufficiently may result in damage to the recoil pin and/or sight mount

A3 Bolt (Fig 3)

Before installing the bolt, ensure the shroud is in the position on the bolt body, ie the

nib of the cocking piece is located in the small close fitting indent at the top of the

cocking cam at the rear of the bolt body. The bolt cannot be replaced in the receiver

if the shroud is incorrectly positioned – see sketch.
