FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR

LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Get competent firearms instruction in safe handling before using this firearm.
Please ask your dealer for names of qualified instructors. All guns are extremely
dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the
primary “safety” and that reliance on any mechanical device should never re­place safe handling procedures.

This firearm WILL FIRE if a cartridge is in the chamber and the trigger is pulled
and the safety is disengaged.

DO NOT LOAD THIS BOLT ACTION RIFLE UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND HOW
THIS BOLT ACTION RIFLE OPERATES. KEEP this Bolt Action Rifle unloaded
at all times except when ready to fire and you are sure of your target.

firearm user is the

ALWAYS carry this Bolt Action Rifle in a case or original box

NEVER point this Bolt Action Rifle at anything that is not your intended target
even if this Bolt Action Rifle is unloaded. When loading, cleaning, unloading or
handling, always be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and always
keep your finger off the trigger.

NEVER assume any gun is unloaded. Before handling, check to make sure the
chamber is empty. See unloading Instructions and then unload any ammuni­tion. Make sure you know that this or any firearm is fully unloaded before dis­playing or handling it. When handling any firearm, keep your fingers away from
the trigger at all times until you intend to fire.

Get instructions from a competent firearms instructor before using this or any
firearm. Learn from a professional how to handle, load, unload, operate, fire
and care for your gun.

NEVER PLAY with your firearm. It is not a toy and can be a very dangerous
weapon that can cause serious personal injury or death.

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Treat every gun as if it is
loaded...all the time. NEVER point any firearm (loaded or unloaded) at any
person or anything you do not intend to shoot. Always keep your gun unloaded
until ready to use and make sure that it is unloaded before cleaning.

Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target and
ready to shoot. Learn to rest your finger outside of the trigger guard.

unloaded.

Never rely on a gun’s “safety” to protect you from unsafe gun handling. A safety
is only a mechanical device, not a substitute for common sense and gun safety

procedures.

Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall.

Store guns and ammunition separately beyond the reach of children. Make

sure that they are properly secured so untrained individuals and children will be
denied access to your guns and ammunition.

Test your gun’s operation and safeties only at a shooting range while the fire­arm is pointed in a safe direction.

Know your target and what is beyond. Ask yourself what your bullet will hit if it
misses the target or passes through the intended target. Remember, a fired
projectile can travel over a mile (including a ricochet) and is capable of going
through walls.

Guns and alcohol or drugs do not mix. Don’t take any alcoholic beverages and/
or drugs before or during shooting activities.

Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch or
fence with a loaded gun.

Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat, RV, camp or any
building.

When receiving a gun, always open the action and check to make sure the
chamber is unloaded.

NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or “empty”. You should
immediately open the action and check to make sure it is unloaded.

Be careful with ALL ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are deadly at close
range due to the muzzle blast. Make sure your ammunition is in new and in
good, clean condition. Do NOT oil or grease ammo as this may damage the
cartridge primer. Do NOT tamper with or alter the standard factory ammunition.

Keep firearms unloaded when not actually in use. Load the gun only when on
the range preparing to fire and unload it before leaving the range.

Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.

ALWAYS WEAR protective shooting glasses and hearing protection when us­ing firearms.

Spectators should be at least 10 feet behind and away from the shooter while
the shooter is loading, shooting and unloading. Spectators should wear protec-

tion for hearing and sight loss and they should avoid distracting those shooting
their firearms.

Never drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check it for proper function
before using it again.

Do NOT alter or modify your gun. Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger ing

pull,because it may affect sear engagement and may cause accidental firing.

Do NOT remove any internal safety or safety device on the firearm. Safety
mechanisms are designed to help protect you from personal injury or death.

Maintain and keep your gun clean. Keep in a dry place away from other metals
and water. If your gun shows sign of corrosion or improper operation, have it
serviced by a competent gunsmith.

Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction when loading and unloading your
gun. Never point the muzzle at anyone.

Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or water....bullets ricochet.

If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at the
target for 60 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition may cause a delay in full
ignition of the cartridge. If it after 60 seconds, the cartridge does not fire, keep
the muzzle pointed in safe direction and avoid exposure to the breech, as you
attempt to unload your firearm.

Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel. Always be sure
the barrel is free of any obstruction.

Since many ammunition identifications sound similar, be sure that you use only
the correct ammunition for your gun. Do NOT use the wrong size or wrong
strength ammunition in your firearm.

Repeated and prolonged exposure to gunfire may cause toxic levels of lead in
your body. High levels of lead in the blood may result in cancer, impotency,
birth defects and other serious physical injury. When shooting indoors, make
sure there is proper fresh air ventilation.

Teach children: 1. NOT to touch guns, bullets, cartridges, shells, flares or any
explosive device and 2. That if they discover such a dangerous item or weapon,
they must immediately report its location to their parents, school teacher or
police.

Remember a firearm has the capability of taking your life or the life of someone
else. Be careful with your firearm — an accident is almost always the result of

not following basic safety rules.
