Owner's Manual

WARNING! Always unload your rifle immediately after use and prior to

cleaning and storage to minimize the risk of an accidental discharge. If your rifle

ever fails to fire keep it pointed at the target for at least 30 seconds in the event of

a hangfire (slow ignition). If the round still does not fire, remove the magazine, eject

and discard the bad round. Reload the rifle to resume firing.

3. Move the safety lever to the “FIRE” position. (See Illustration #3.) Check the rifle's chamber to

ensure it does not contain a round by pulling back on the bolt cocking handle. (See Illustration

#4.) Inspect the chamber to ensure it is empty. Once you determine the chamber is empty and

no magazine is in the rifle, let the bolt go forward. Move the safety lever to the "SAFE"

position. (See Illustration #2.)

4. In the event that a cartridge remains in the chamber after pulling the trigger and the extractor

fails to remove it (whether or not it has fired), you should remove the magazine, then work the

bolt cocking handle several times to try to eject the cartridge. If this does not eject the

cartridge, ride the bolt cocking handle home (slowly allow it to return to its forward position

without allowing it to impact the back of the cartridge casing). Follow the instructions found

on page 10 to field strip your rifle before attempting to remove the cartridge. If after field

stripping your rifle you are still unable to remove the cartridge casing, do not reassemble

the rifle. Take the rifle to a competent gunsmith to remove the round and ensure proper

functioning.

WARNING! Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

1. Move the safety lever to the "SAFE" position. (See Illustration #2.)

2. Remove the magazine from the rifle. With one hand holding the receiver, remove your other

hand from the rifle grip and grasp the magazine, using your thumb, depress the magazine

release lever. (See Illustration #8.) You will now be able to rotate the bottom of the magazine

toward the muzzle end of the rifle and remove it from the magazine well in the receiver.

(See Illustration #9.)

WARNING! The rifle will fire if the magazine is removed and if the trigger is

pulled when a cartridge is in the chamber.

WARNING! If dropped, any firearm could fire when there is a cartridge in the

chamber and the safety lever is in the "FIRE" position.
