Loading a Rifle With a Detachable Box Magazine (cont’d)
NOTESingle loading:Your rifle may be loaded with a single round in the chamber and no cartridges in the detachable box magazine. To singleload
the rifle, simply skip Steps 4 through 7 above.
Loading the magazine only:Your rifle may be loaded with no round in the chamber and a full magazine. To accomplish this type of loading,
follow Steps 1 through 7 above. Then do not load a round directly into the chamber and press down on the top cartridge of the magazine as
you slide the bolt closed over that cartridge. The bolt will now be closed over an empty chamber. A round may subsequently be loaded into the
chamber for firing by opening and fully retracting the bolt and then closing the bolt, stripping off the top cartridge from the magazine into the
chamber.
WARNINGYour rifle may fire a chambered round even if the detachable box magazine has been removed from the rifle. Never assume the rifle is unloaded
merely because you have removed the magazine.
Firing the Rifle
Once a cartridge has been loaded into the chamber, the rifle is ready to be fired.
1. Aim the rifle at your intended target, with the butt of the rifle planted firmly against your shoulder.
2. Keeping your fingers away from the trigger, push the manual safety forward to the “fire” position.
3. Put your trigger finger on the trigger and slowly squeeze or pull the trigger to fire the rifle.
NOTEUnless you intend to fire another shot right away, leave the bolt closed over the fired cartridge.
4. To extract and eject the fired cartridge case, lift the bolt handle and pull the bolt all the way to the rear.
5.Closing the bolt will then chamber the next cartridge from the magazine. Unless you intend to fire an im
mediate next shot, pull the safety fully to the rear to the “safe” position. Your rifle is now loaded with another round in the chamber.
