clubs and ranges, gun shops, shooting schools and other
qualified sources of instruction.
11. No projectiles other than those specifically
recommended by Traditions may be used in your firearm.
Traditions recommends the use of Remington 300 grain
SJHP for optimum performance in this firearm.
12. Before firing any firearm, be sure it is in good working
order and that the barrel is clear of dirt, grease, water,
excess oil, rust, corrosion or any other obstruction.
13. Always be mindful of where the safety is set and
routinely verify its setting. Never solely rely on any rifle’s
safety. It is prudent to always treat every gun as if it were
loaded and ready to fire. A firearm’s safety is a mechanical
device which can fail.
14. Never give a firearm to anyone, or take a firearm from
anyone, unless it is unloaded and the action is open. If
someone tries to hand you a firearm with the action closed,
politely ask them to open it before you take it from them.
15. Always unload your firearm when immediate shooting
is not planned.
16. Never leave a loaded firearm unattended.
17. Never climb, jump or move abruptly while carrying any
loaded firearm.
18. Never transport a loaded firearm nor shoot one from
within a vehicle.
19. Always store the ammunition and rifle in separate
locked places. Always keep all firearms and ammunition
components secured and separate away from children.
Never store a loaded gun.
