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
might 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 am-
munition. The correct caliber can be seen
on your rifle. Load your rifle only when you
are at the range and ready to shoot. Use
only genuine ANSCHÜTZ magazines. Do
not exceed the stated magazine capacity.
Alterations to the rifle or the use of non-
ANSCHÜTZ magazines and accessories
may cause malfunctions.
5. Always keep your rifle clean. Be sure
the bore is not obstructed by dirt, water,
grease or any other foreign materials.
Never try to shoot out any obstruction. If a
shot has not been released when the trigger
has been pulled, direct the barrel in a safe
direction, activate the safety, open the
action and carefully remove the bullet.
6. Serious injury and damage can result
from the use of the wrong ammunition,
bore obstructions, or incorrect cartridge
components.
7. 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.
8. 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 unauthorized 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. Even if you
use such a device, your rifle always must
be unloaded when not being used.
Only give your rifle to authorized 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 be used by a responsible adult or
under his or her supervision.
9. Watch for any change in the operation
of your rifle which might impair its safety.The
safety is only guaranteed as long as the
firearm is in faultless condition. 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.Please note that your
