PART N0. 101484 REV. A 2
As the owner of a firearm, you must undertake the full-time responsibility of safe
firearms handling for your own safety and the safety of those around you:

Keep all firearms and ammunition out of the reach of children.

Store your firearms and ammunition separately.

Never store a loaded firearm.

Never leave a loaded firearm unattended.

Never transport a loaded firearm in a vehicle.

Unload your firearm when you have stopped shooting and when you have to
climb a tree, fence, cross a slippery surface or have to transport it in a vehicle.

Do not load your firearm before you are in a place where it is safe to shoot, and
keep your finger off the trigger until you are on target and have decided to fire.

Never shoot at water, rocks or any hard surfaces. Bullets may glance off such
surfaces and cause injuries.

Do not use alcohol or drugs before or while handling firearms.

Do not touch the trigger while the safety button is being engaged or disengaged.
Always point the muzzle of your firearm in a safe direction, regardless of whether the
firearm is loaded or unloaded. You should become thoroughly familiar with the
function and operation of this firearm and the instructions supplied with it.
Always treat every firearm as if it is loaded. Give your firearm to someone with the
action open (bolt fully rearward), and the safety button
fully to the “ON” (SAFE)
position, after you verify the firearm is unloaded. Insist on the same procedure when
receiving a firearm from someone else. Learn the location of all the safety features of
your firearm and how they operate.
Wear eye and ear protection when shooting. Shooting without proper ear protection
can cause hearing damage. The use of eye protection during any type of shooting is
important to protect your vision.
When using a firearm with mounted optics, maintain an adequate distance between
the rear of the scope and your face at all times. Be certain the scope installation does
not interfere with access to, or the proper functioning of the safety button.
We specifically disclaim any responsibility for damage or injury whatsoever
occurring in connection with, or as a result of, the use of faulty, or non-
commercially manufactured, or remanufactured or hand-loaded (reloaded)
ammunition. Additionally, we disclaim any responsibility for damage or injury
which results from any modifications or changes that are not a part of the
firearm as delivered from the factory.
Learn to clean your firearm thoroughly and make certain no oil, grease or other
materials are blocking the barrel. Obstructions of any kind can cause damage to the
firearm resulting in personal injury.
Practice proper firearm maintenance and safety. Make sure all exposed metal surfaces are
coated with a thin film of oil, especially after being exposed to damp weather. (See the proper
section of this manual for cleaning instructions.) Do not plug the barrel or store in a fabric-lined
case, which will absorb lubricants from the firearm. Before using after storage, follow complete
instructions stated in this manual for re-familiarization with the firearm. A thorough inspection
and function test should be performed before going into the field. Have your firearm periodically
checked by a qualified gunsmith.
