WARNING - LOCKING DEVICES
This firearm was originally sold with a key- operated locking device. While it can help provide secure storage for your unloaded firearm, any locking device can fail. All firearms are designed to fire if they are loaded and the trigger is pulled. Therefore, never install the locking device inside the trigger guard or in any way that makes it possible to pull the trigger! Do not leave the keys in the lock.
The ultimate responsibility for secure storage of any firearm must depend upon its owner and his or her individual circumstances. Firearms should be stored unloaded, in a secure location, separate from their ammunition.
NEVER INSTALL THE LOCKING DEVICE
INSIDE THE TRIGGER GUARD
To maximize effectiveness and reduce the chances of malfunction or damage to a firearm, ALWAYS refer to the locking device’s manufacturer directions for installation and removal of the device.

THE BASIC RULES OF SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING
1. ALWAYS treat every firearm as if it were loaded.
2. ALWAYS be sure the barrel is clear of any obstruction.
3. ALWAYS be sure of your backstop, what lies beyond, and the safety of bystanders before you shoot.
4. ALWAYS use clean, dry, original factory-made ammunition of the proper type and caliber for your firearm.
5. ALWAYS wear ear protection and safety glasses when shooting.
6. ALWAYS carry your firearm so that you can control the direction of the muzzle if you fall or stumble.
7. NEVER shoot at a flat surface or water.
8. DO NOT leave an unattended firearm loaded. Firearms and ammunition should be stored separately, locked if possible, beyond the reach of children, careless adults, and unauthorized users.
9. NEVER allow your firearm to be used by anyone who has not read and understood this operator’s manual.
10. DO NOT point any firearm, loaded or unloaded, at any undesired target.
11. NEVER fire your rifle near an animal unless it is trained to accept the noise: an animal’s startled reaction could injure it or cause an accident.
12. NEVER drink alcoholic beverages or take drugs before or during shooting, as your vision and judgment could be seriously impaired, making your firearm handling unsafe.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
1.0 Safety Information
The safety warnings in this manual are important. By understanding the dangers inherent in the use of any firearm, and by taking the precautions described herein, you can enjoy complete safety in the use of your rifle. Failure to heed any of these warnings may result in serious injury to you or others, as well as severe damage to the firearm or other property. SIG SAUER Inc. shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for malfunctioning of the firearm, physical injury or property damage resulting in whole or in part from:
1) criminal or negligent discharge;
2) improper or careless handling;
3) unauthorized modifications;
4) defective, improper, hand-loaded, or reloaded ammunition;
5) corrosion;
6) neglect; or
7) other influences beyond our direct and immediate control.
This limitation applies regardless of whether liability is asserted on the basis of contract, negligence, or strict liability (including any failure to warn). Under no circumstance shall SIG SAUER Inc. be liable for incidental or consequential damages, such as loss of use of property, commercial loss, and loss of earnings or profits.
14
when it counts
1.1 Protect Your Eyes And Ears
Always wear safety glasses and ear plugs or “earmuff” type protectors whenever you are shooting. Always make certain that persons close to you are similarly protected. Unprotected eyes may be injured by powder, gas, carbon residue, lubricant, metallic particles, or similar debris which may emanate occasionally from any firearm in normal use. Without ear protection, repeated exposure to shooting noise may lead to cumulative, permanent hearing loss.
1.2. Ammunition
1. Use only high quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent, or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Do not spray aerosol-type lubricants, preservative, or cleaners directly onto cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your firearm is chambered. The proper caliber is permanently engraved on your firearm; never attempt to use ammunition of any other caliber.
2. The use of reloaded, “remanufactured” hand-loaded, or other non-standard ammunition voids all warranties. Reloading is a science and improperly loaded ammunition can be extremely dangerous. Severe damage to the firearm and serious injury to the shooter or to others may result. Always use ammunition that complies with the industry performance standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. of the United States (SAAMI) or ammunition manufactured to military specifications.

WARNING – AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGE) NOTICE
INJURY WHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THE USE IN ANY SIG SAUER
FIREARM OF FAULTY, NON-STANDARD, “REMANUFACTURED” HAND LOADED (RELOADED) AMMUNITION, OR
3. Firearms may be severely damaged and serious injury to the shooter or to others may result from any condition causing excessive pressure inside the chamber or barrel during firing. Excessive pressure can be caused by obstructions in the barrel, propellant powder overloads, the use of incorrect cartridges or defectively assembled cartridges. In addition, the use of a dirty, corroded, or damaged cartridge can lead to a burst cartridge case and consequent damage to the firearm and personal injury from the sudden escape of high-pressure propellant gas within the firearm’s mechanism.
4. Immediately stop shooting and check the barrel for a possible obstruction whenever:
• You have difficulty in, or feel unusual resistance in, chambering a cartridge;
• A cartridge misfires (does not go off);
• The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case;
• Unburned grains of propellant powder are discovered spilled in the mechanism;
• A shot sounds weak or abnormal. In such cases it is possible that a bullet is lodged part way down the barrel.
• Firing a subsequent bullet into the obstructed barrel can wreck the firearm and cause serious injury to the shooter
or to bystanders.
16
SIG SAUER Inc. SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR
CARTRIDGES OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH THE FIREARM WAS ORIGINALLY CHAMBERED.
when it counts
5. Bullets can become lodged in the barrel:
• If the cartridge has been improperly loaded without propellant powder, or if the powder fails to ignite (ignition of the cartridge primer alone will push the bullet out of the cartridge case, but usually does not generate sufficient energy to expel the bullet completely from the barrel);
• If the bullet is not properly seated in the cartridge case. When such a cartridge is extracted from the chamber without being fired, the bullet may be left behind in the bore at the point where the rifling begins. Subsequent chambering of another cartridge may push the first bullet further into the bore.
6. If there is any reason to suspect that a bullet is obstructing the barrel, immediately unload the firearm and look through the bore. It is not sufficient to merely look in the chamber. A bullet may be lodged some distance down the barrel where it cannot easily be seen.
IF A BULLET IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING ANOTHER CARTRIDGE OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR ONE FROM WHICH THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOVED. SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, WRECK THE FIREARM, AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the bullet can be removed with a cleaning rod, clean any unburned powder grains from the bore, chamber, and mechanism before resuming shooting. If the bullet cannot be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning rod, take the firearm to a gunsmith.
7. Dirt, corrosion, or other foreign matter on a cartridge can impede complete chambering and may cause the cartridge case to burst upon firing. The same is true of cartridges which are damaged or deformed.
™
17
8. Do not oil cartridges, and be sure to wipe the chamber clean of any oil or preservative before commencing to shoot. Oil interferes with the friction between cartridge case and chamber wall that is necessary for safe functioning, and subjects the firearm to stress similar to that imposed by excessive pressure.
9. Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts of your firearm. Avoid excessive spraying of any aerosol gun care product, especially where it may get on ammunition. All lubricants and aerosol spray lubricants in particular can penetrate cartridge primers and cause misfires. Some highly penetrative lubricants can also migrate inside cartridge cases and cause deterioration of the propellant powder; on firing, the powder may not ignite. If only the primer ignites, there is danger that the bullet may become lodged in the barrel.

WARNING - AMMUNITION
Death, serious injury, and damage can result from the use of wrong ammunition, bore obstructions, powder overloads, or incorrect cartridge components. Always wear shooting glasses and hearing protectors.
IMPROPER AMMUNITION DESTROYS FIREARM
WARNING - LEAD EXPOSURE
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to the state of California to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
SHOOTING OR CLEANING GUNS MAY EXPOSE YOU TO LEAD

3.0 Handling
3.1 Important Instructions
• Before manipulating the weapon, ensure the safety lever is in the SAFE position.
• Use only factory-new ammunition which corresponds to the caliber of the weapon.
• During all manipulations of the rifle, point the weapon in a safe direction.
• Do not place your finger on the trigger until the target has been verified and you intend to shoot.
• Do not load the weapon until immediately before use.
• Unload weapon immediately after shooting is finished.
• Remove the bolt and magazine from the weapon prior to transportation.
WARNING - HANDLING:
Never carry the rifle loaded with the safety lever in the FIRE position. If dropped or struck with the safety off, the rifle may fire. Such a discharge can occur with or without the trigger being directly struck or touched. Never rest a loaded rifle against any object (wall, tree, fence, vehicle, etc.) because there is always the possibility that the rifle will be jarred or slide from its position and fall with sufficient force to discharge. Keep the safety lever on SAFE unless actually firing.
ANY FIREARM MAY FIRE IF DROPPED

when it counts
3.2.1 Loading the magazine.
• Point the rifle in a safe direction.
• Move the safety lever to the rear (SAFE) position.
• Raise the bolt handle.
• Pull the bolt all the way to the rear.
• Insert the required number of cartridges into the magazine.
• Insert one cartridge into the chamber.
• Using your finger, depress the cartridges in the magazine, and slowly slide the bolt forward so the bolt rides over the top
cartridge in the magazine.
• Finish closing the bolt on the cartridge inserted into the chamber.
THE RIFLE IS NOW LOADED
™
31
3.2.2 Loading single cartridge only
• Point the rifle in a safe direction.
• Move the safety lever to the rear (SAFE) position.
• Raise the bolt handle.
• Pull the bolt all the way to the rear.
• Insert one cartridge through the loading/ejection port and into the magazine.
• Push the bolt forward and chamber the cartridge. Lock the bolt closed.
• If you choose to insert the round directly into the chamber, the magazine follower must be depressed to allow the bolt to
move forward. Once depressed the bolt may be closed over the chambered round.
WARNING: Always check the cartridge for the correct headstamp which matches the rifle caliber. NEVER force the bolt closed on a cartridge.
If extra effort is ever needed to close the bolt, stop. Open the bolt, remove and discard the round. Failure to do so may result in damage to the firearm and injury or death to the shooter.
THE RIFLE IS NOW LOADED
3.3 Loading the Rifle
1. Ensure the safety lever is in the SAFE position;
2. Insert the loaded magazine by inserting it into the mag well with the rear of the magazine sightly higher than the front. The rear lug catches first, then raise the front of the magazine until it is caught by the mag catch.
3. Ensure the bolt is closed with a cartridge inserted into the chamber.
32
4.0 Cycle of Operation
Ready to Fire Condition
The SIG50 “Ready to Fire” condition is described as a loaded magazine properly seated into the magazine well, a live cartridge loaded into the chamber, the fire control selector place on “SAFE”.
• To fire the rifle, move the safety lever to the forward (FIRE) position.
when it counts
™
THE RIFLE IS READY TO FIRE
FIGURE 8: MAGAZINE BEING INSERTED
4.1. Firing
Rotate the safety lever from the “SAFE” position to the “FIRE” position. Pressing the trigger rearward releases the striker, causing it to strike the firing pin, impacting the cartridge primer.
4.2 Over Pressure Firing
The SIG 50 has a mechanism in place to vent extreme gases in cases of head separation or pierced primers. Overpressure gases are diverted through three (3) vent holes in the side of the bolt and not directly rearward through the firing pin hole which could result internal stress to the bolt assembly, failure of the bolt and possible injury to the shooter.
33
5.0. Unloading
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE MUZZLE IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION!
1. Point the rifle in a safe direction.
2. Move the safety lever to the rear (SAFE) position.
3. Depress the magazine release latch and remove the magazine from the rifle.
4. Raise the bolt handle.
5. Put one hand over the top of the ejection port.
6. Slowly pull the bolt to the rear with your other hand to remove the cartridge from the chamber.
7. Take hold of the cartridge and remove it from the rifle.
8. Visually and physically inspect the chamber to verify it is empty.
NOTE: If the cartridge you are trying to remove slides into the chamber, normally the cartridge will slide back out by elevating the muzzle. If the cartridge remains in the chamber, push the bolt all the way forward and depress the bolt handle, locking the cartridge into the chamber and repeat steps 1 through 8.
34
when it counts
WARNING:
Removing cartridges from the magazine does not prevent the rifle from being fired! When there is a cartridge in the chamber and the safety lever is in the FIRE position, the cartridge will discharge if the trigger is pulled. It is absolutely essential for the user to know how to completely unload the rifle. “Completely” means emptying the magazine and removing a chambered cartridge. The safety lever should always be in the SAFE position when the rifle is being unloaded.
THE RIFLE WILL FIRE EVEN IF THE MAGAZINE IS EMPTY OR REMOVED
Remember to clear the chamber after the magazine is removed. Never assume that any firearm is unloaded until it has been visually and physically inspected. After every range session make sure the firearm is unloaded before leaving the range.
™
35
6.0. Procedures In Case of a Stoppage
A “Stoppage” is an interruption in the cycle of operation as depicted in Section 4.0. A stoppage can normally be repaired by the operator by performing one of the following immediate actions described.
6.1. Failure to Fire (Cold Rifle) Trigger is pressed, firing pin releases, rifle does not fire.
1. Ensure the magazine is properly seated in the magazine well by applying upward pressure and then pulling down on the magazine.
2. Retract the bolt all the way back and observe the ejection of the expended case or a live cartridge; and
3. Visually inspect the chamber for any obstructions, if the chamber shows to be clear, slide bolt forward to feed a new cartridge.
4. Attempt to fire the rifle again.
6.2. Failure to Fire (Hot Rifle) Trigger is pressed, striker releases, the rifle does not fire.
1. Keep the muzzle pointed down range, place the rifle on SAFE, remove the magazine, if you cannot extract the loaded cartridge within ten (10) seconds you must wait a minimum of 15 minutes before handling the rifle.

8.0. Cleaning
Clean the rifle after 30 to 40 rounds in order to maintain “benchrest accuracy.”
8.1 Removing and Installing the Muzzle Brake
1. The rifle can be cleaned with the muzzle brake on or off.
2. To remove the muzzle brake, use a 12-inch or 300mm adjustable wrench with two layers of masking tape on the jaws. Clamp barrel in padded vise just behind the brake. You may have to use a wood mallet and/or nylon hammer, and give a sharp rap on the end of the wrench to break it loose. The brake is installed with standard right-hand threads.
3. To reinstall the muzzle brake, put 2 or 3 drops of gun oil on the barrel threads. For the last 1/4 turn, use the adjustable wrench and give it a fast turn to properly tighten the muzzle brake. For “Pinch Clamp” muzzle brakes, screw brake on to barrel until it stops. Back brake off until level and tighten cross-bolt to 80-85 inch-pounds. (Check the muzzle brake for looseness every 50 rounds, then tighten as necessary.)
8.2 Cleaning Procedure
1. Ensure the rifle is unloaded.
2. Remove the magazine, buttstock, and bolt from the rifle.
3. Ensure the muzzle is lower than the action.
4. Roll one patch all the way around the brass jag. The cotton patch should be 4”x6” for maximum effect. Wet the patch with solvent. Roll the cleaning rod with the wet patch in the chamber and neck area.
5. Unroll approximately 2” of the wet patch, leaving the other 2/3rds on the jag. Push the remaining wet patch through the bore and remove it at the muzzle.
38
when it counts
6. Install the bore guide in the receiver. Replace the brass jag with the phosphor bronze brush, wet it with solvent and run it through the barrel and out the muzzle. Once the brush is forward of the muzzle, pull the brush back through the bore and out of the chamber. Do this a total of ten (10) times. After the tenth time, reapply the bore solvent and run the brush back through another ten (10) times.(Up and back is one time.) NOTE: NEVER reverse the brush while inside the bore.
7. Replace the bronze brush with the brass jag and roll a 4”x4” patch on to the jag. Dry patch the bore until the patches come out clean and dry.
8. Roll a 4”x4” patch onto the jag. Wet the patch with copper fouling remover and push it through the bore and out the muzzle. Remove the old patch. Repeat once more and clean up with dry patch. The wet patches can be worked back and forth with short 4”-6” strokes to increase effectiveness. Repeat this process until all copper fouling is removed. Once all fouling has been removed from the barrel, remove the bore guide and dry patch the chamber, neck, and bore until clean and dry.
WARNING: Ammonia-based solvents should never be left in the barrel for more than 5 minutes, as they could permanently etch the bore.
NOTE: Do not ever use any type of copper fouling remover on bronze brushes. It will attack them the same as fouling in the bore. Copper remover may be used with a nylon brush for heavily fouled barrels.
9. Wrap a 4” square patch around the jag. Wet the patch with bore solvent (not copper remover) and run it through the bore, followed by one or two dry patches. Copper fouling removers will leave the bore dry and totally stripped of any oil. Many standard bore cleaners/solvents have some traces of oil that will stay in the bore.
10. The barrel should now be clean and the rifle ready to fire or store.
™
39
NOTE: For barrels using moly coated bullets, additional cleaning may need to be done to remove the moly fouling.
11. To remove moly fouling, wrap the brass jag with a dry patch. Install bore guide into receiver. Apply a bore paste to the patch and work the patch down the bore in the same manner as the copper remover. Repeat as necessary but do not over do. Once all moly fouling is removed, dry patch bore until patches come out clean. Excessive or improper use of abrasives can shorten service life and/or cause loss of accuracy.
12. Repeat steps 4 through 7 twice to remove any residue paste from the chamber and barrel. NOTE: To perform step 11 the muzzle brake must be removed. Moly will build up on the rifling and will not come out with normal cleaning. It will prevent a rifle from firing at its peak, thus the reason to perform step 14.
8.3 Cleaning the Magazine
Magazines should be cleaned whenever the rifle is cleaned as preventive maintenance.
1. Use a brush to clean inside the body.
2. Clean with a rag and CLP then wipe dry.
3. Clean follower and dry completely.
The magazine body should be kept dry. Any oil or solvent left behind will attract dirt and debris causing undue wear and possibly feeding issues.

8.4 Cleaning the Receiver and Trigger Assembly
when it counts
™
1. Move the safety lever to the rear (SAFE) position.
2. Remove the bolt assembly.
Action Screws
3. Turn the rifle upside down.
4. Remove the two action screws.
5. Carefully lift the stock away from the receiver and trigger assembly. NOTE: Clean the receiver and trigger assembly as a unit with a degreaser. Do not leave any degreaser on coated surfaces any longer than necessary.
6. Wipe the receiver down with a light coat of oil. Let stand for 15 minutes, then wipe or blow off all excess lubricant with a clean rag or air.
7. Before replacing the bolt, make sure the barrel is free from obstructions. Grease bolt as per step 1.
8. After cleaning the trigger assembly, check to be sure there are no cartridges in the rifle, close the bolt, move the safety lever to the forward (FIRE) position, and pull the trigger. The firing pin must fall. Repeat at least 5 times. WARNING: If the firing pin does not remain cocked, when the bolt is closed smartly, return the rifle to SIG SAUER.
9. Cleaning should also be performed after long term storage, or after being subjected to rain, sleet, dust, snow, sand, mud or saltwater.
41
8.5 Cleaning the Bolt Assembly
1. Remove the bolt assembly from the rifle.
2. Use a good quality solvent and a rag to wipe down the bolt body. Ensure that all fouling and residue are removed.
3. With a good quality bristle brush and solvent scrub the bolt face and remove all fouling and loose brass from the bolt face.
4. Lift the extractor upward and clean under the extractor notch with the brush and solvent.
5. Dry thoroughly and lubricate bolt body with a small amount of gun oil.
6. Activate the ejector and the extractor and ensure they move freely without sticking.
7. If the ejector or the extractor sticks, return the rifle to SIG SAUER
8. A light film of grease should be applied behind the bolt locking lugs. DO NOT OVER GREASE. This will facilitate smooth bolt movement and less grease will be needed as the rifle is broken in.
NOTE:
• ONLY USE CLEANING AND LUBRICATION PRODUCTS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR USE ON FIREARMS.
• READ ALL WARNING LABELS AND OBTAIN MSDS ON ANY CLEANING, LUBRICATION, AND PROTECTIVE CHEMICALS USED.
• CLEANER, LUBRICANT, PROTECTANT IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS “CLP”
• SOME BORE CLEANERS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE LEFT IN THE BORE FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
• FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONS WHEN USING CLEANING OR LUBRICATION PRODUCTS ON
FIREARMS.
• SOLVENT IS A GENERIC TERM AND WILL BE USED TO DESCRIBE A GENERAL BORE CLEANING SOLUTION.

8.6 Bolt Maintenanence
1. Remove the bolt from the receiver.
2. Hold the bolt in your left hand with the bolt handle towards you, bolt face to the left, cocking piece housing to the right, and with the cocking piece facing up.
3. Holding the bolt firmly in your left hand, grasp the cocking piece housing with your right hand, and give the cocking piece housing a 1/8 turn away from you (clockwise). This unlocks the firing pin assembly from the bolt.
4. While still holding the bolt in your left hand, pull the firing pin assembly out to the right. Then lay the bolt body aside.
5. Remove all grease, dirt, powder residue, and solvents from the firing pin assembly and inside bolt body.
™
43
6. To reinstall the firing pin assembly, first apply grease at both locking tabs located on the cocking piece housing. Grasp the bolt with your left hand with the back of the bolt facing to the right. Install the firing pin assembly into the back of the bolt while aligning housing tabs with the notches in the bolt body. When aligning the tabs, the cocking piece should be positioned to the right of the cocking cam and notch (LH models will be to the left). With the palm of your right hand, firmly press the firing pin assembly in until it bottoms out on the rear of the bolt. Once fully depressed, rotate the firing pin assembly counter clockwise.
7. You will feel the firing pin assembly lock in place.
8. Grease the locking lugs and cocking cam of the bolt. Install bolt in receiver making certain the bolt stop/guide has “clicked” into its track in the bolt body.

9.0 Full Reassembly
Your SIG SAUER SIG50 Precision Rifle can be broken down into two major components: the stock assembly and the action/barrel assembly.
1. Inspect the stock and make sure there is no grit, dust, or any foreign matter in the recoil lug recess or bedding (action) area. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO ACHIEVE ACCURACY.
3. Carefully inspect the action/barrel assembly and check that it is clean and free of any foreign matter.
4. Gently place the action/barrel assembly into the stock. Be careful not to damage or chip the bedding material in the recoil lug area.
5. Use the 5/16 x 24 hex head screws supplied to fasten the action/barrel to the stock assembly. NOTE: The screws are marked on the end with a letter (“F” for front, “R” for rear).
6. With the action/barrel assembly in place, use a torque wrench to tighten the screws to 80-85 inch-pounds. Always tighten the front screw first (the screw closest to the muzzle).This is accomplished when the handle “clicks,” indicating the torque setting has been reached.
7. Insert the complete bolt assembly into the rear of the action. Ensure that the bolt stop clicks into the guide track in the bolt body.
8. Once the bolt is past the bolt release, you will have to depress the magazine follower to allow the bolt to go into battery.

9.1 Field Strip Reassembly / Function Check
1. Point the rifle in a safe direction.
2. Move the safety lever to the rear (SAFE) position.
3. Align the lugs on the bolt at 12 and 6 o’clock. NOTE: The magazine follower must be depressed to allow the bolt to enter the receiver.
4. Slide the bolt assembly into the receiver approximately halfway and rotate it until the bolt stop/guide clicks into its track.
5. To lock the bolt assembly into position, push the bolt handle down.
6. Engage safety by moving safety lever to the rear.
7. Press the trigger. Hammer should not fall.
8. Disengage safety lever by pressing it forward.
9. Press trigger.

10.0 Lubrication
1. Wipe the rifle down with a clean soft cloth. A thin coat of light oil may be applied to all steel surfaces. Apply gun grease (non-melting grease, not heavy oil) at the rear of the locking lugs located at the front of the bolt, and the cocking cam located at the rear-underside. Keep grease from getting into the trigger as this may create an unsafe condition. Do not over lube.
2. When the rifle is to be stored, it should be carefully cleaned and thoroughly oiled. A soft 1” paint brush may be used to clean dust and dirt from hard to reach areas. The bore should be coated with a very light layer of oil. Avoid over oiling the bore as it will work its way down into the action.
3. When the rifle is to be reused, all excess lubrication must be removed. The chamber and the bore must be thoroughly cleaned and wiped dry.
NOTE: NEVER use WD-40 on any part of the rifle. WD-40 is a water displacing oil and will dry out, leaving a sticky varnish behind.
