THE BASIC RULES OF SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING
1. ALWAYS treat every Rifle 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 Rifle.
5. ALWAYS wear ear protection and safety glasses when shooting.
6. ALWAYS carry your Rifle 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 Rifle loaded. Rifles 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 Rifle, 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 Rifle handling unsafe.
