waRning - handling
never carry the rifle loaded with the safety lever in
the “f” (fiRe) position. if dropped or struck with the
safety off (“f”), the rifle may fire. Such a discharge can
occur with or without the trigger being directly struck
or touched. never rest a loaded rifle against any object
(wall, tree, fence, vehicle, etc.) because there is always
the possibility that the rifle will be jarred or slide from its
position and fall with sufficient force to discharge. Keep
the safety lever on “S” (Safe) unless actually firing.
