tal discharge. However, this mechanism will not necessar-
ily prevent the accidental discharge of this firearm as a
result of jarring or abuse such as occurs when a firearm is
dropped.
ALWAYS ASSUME THAT YOUR GUN CAN BE
FIRED AT ANY TIME, EVEN WITH ALL SAFETY
MECHANISMS ENGAGED.
Whenever you are not actually firing your rifle always be
certain that your gun is pointed in a safe direction.
Continually be aware of the position of the manual ham-
mer stop on your rifle. Check it both manually and visual-
ly to avoid any chance of accidental discharge. Always
keep the manual hammer stop in the “on” position unless
you are actually firing the rifle. It is a good idea to keep
the action open (with the finger lever down) at all times
other than when you are in the field and shooting is
imminent.
IMPORTANT: IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE ACTION BE KEPT OPEN AT ALL
TIMES WHEN YOUR RIFLE IS LAYING ON ANY
BENCH OR TABLE AT A SHOOTING RANGE
OR OTHER FACILITY.
ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE OF YOUR RIFLE
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO YOURSELF
OR OTHERS.
