General handling of rifles
1. Treat every rifle as though it was loaded.
Do not take anyone’s word or automatically
assume it is not loaded. Check your rifle
personally each time you handle it. The safe
and courteous way to carry a rifle when
you are with others is to leave the bolt open
so that they can easily see that the rifle
cannot be fired. Make sure that the rifle is
not loaded when you stop shooting. Make
sure your rifle is unloaded before every
transport. Never pick up your rifle with your
finger on the trigger or the trigger guard.
2. Whenever you pick up your rifle, point
the muzzle at the ground. Always point the
muzzle of the barrel in a safe direction.
Never pull a rifle towards you by the
muzzle.
3. Only use your rifle in approved shooting
ranges. Shoot your rifle only under good
visibility and daylight conditions. If you use
your rifle in an indoors range, make sure it
is adequately ventilated. Make sure that
there is a safe bullet trap which can be seen
from all sides and that there is no one in
the vicinity of your target. Be absolutely sure
of a safe backstop and target. Never fire
at a hard, smooth surface or water. Never
shoot at a skyline target or into the air. Do
not shoot at anything from which a bullet
may ricochet. Never fire your rifle with the
muzzle in the water or against any other
material to avoid an accident or damage
of your rifle.
4. Be sure that you use the correct ammunition. The correct calibre can be seen
on your rifle. Load your rifle only when you
are at the range and ready to shoot.
5. Always keep your rifle clean. Be sure
the bore is not obstructed by pellets or
bullets, dirt, water, grease or any other
foreign materials.
6. Place the safety fully into „S“ or „F“
position - never inbetween. Always keep
safety in full „safe“ position until ready to
fire. Do not put your finger on the trigger
when operating the safety or whenever you
are not ready to shoot.
7. When not in use your rifle should be
stored in a locked and secure place
accessible only to you. Check first to make
sure it is unloaded. Store the rifle with
uncocked trigger. Store ammunition in a
separate and secure place. It is your special
responsibility to make sure that at all times
and especially when you are not present
your rifle is well secured, out of any reach
of children and other unauthorised persons
and in no way accessible to them. For the
safe storage of your rifle even in a locked
cabinet or safe the use of an additional
trigger lock is recommended.
Only give your rifle to authorised persons.
Never let your rifle be used by anyone who
is not familiar with the safe handling of a
rifle and these instructions. This rifle must
only by used by a responsible adult or
under his or her supervision.
8. Watch for any change in the operation
of your rifle which might impair its safety. If
you suspect or note a defect or malfunction,
stop using it immediately, unload the rifle,
make sure that it is not under pressure and
send it to a competent gunsmith, the factory
or its recommended repair station for
inspection. Note: Apart from normal
cleaning the rifle must only be disassembled
by an authorized gunsmith. Unqualified
handling or disassembly can cause injuries
or irreparable damage of the rifle.
9. Your rifle should always be handled with
extreme care. Make sure that it is never
dropped or placed in such a way that it
can fall. For transport purposes your rifle
should be dry and clean. We recommend
an approved protective gun case.
10. You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol)
which might impair vision, dexterity or
judgement. Do not use your rifle when you
are tired. Tiredness may result in a loss of
control.
11. Clean your hands carefully after
shooting and cleaning your ANSCHÜTZ
product. Residues of bullets, powder or oil
might impair the health of your skin.
12. Your ANSCHÜTZ rifle has been
carefully built and inspected by skilled
technicians to provide maximum efficiency.
The service life depends on the owner’s
care and on cleaning following the owner’s
manual closely.
Ear and eye protection
You and other persons should always use
approved hearing protection and approved
shatterproof eye protection while shooting.
Laws
When using a rifle observe the corres-
ponding regulations and laws for the use
of firearms in your country.

instructions
Important note for the handling
of rifles:
1. Unload your rifle immediately if you do
not intend to continue shooting. Remove the
bolt or leave it open at least. In the case of
a repeater remove the magazine as well.
Make sure there is no cartridge left in the
chamber.
2. Make sure there is nobody in the area
of case ejection.
3. If you store the rifle remove the bolt and
store the bolt uncocked in a separate place.
Important note for the handling
of ammunition:
1. Exclusively use clean, factory loaded and
new ammunition in the caliber approved
for your rifle.
2. Be aware that the range of a bullet
starting from cal. .22 l.r. might be 1.6 km
or even longer. Therefore also be sure of
the safety of the impact area.
