This rifle can be dangerous if it is not used

responsibility that no one should take lightly.
Rifle accidents would not occur if the following
rules of shooting safety were observed.
The Ten Commandments of Firearms
Safety
• Learn the mechanical and handling
characteristics of the firearm you are using.
• Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe
direction.
• Firearms should be unloaded when not in
use.

before using.

• Wear shooting glasses and ear protection
when you shoot.
• Never climb a tree or fence with a loaded
firearm.
• Don’t shoot at a hard surface or at water.
• Never transport a loaded firearm.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages or drugs and
don’t smoke when shooting or handling a

General handling of rifles and
firearms
Although it can be assumed that shooters are
familiar with the following rules we would like
to emphasize them once again for reasons
of safety. All firearms are hazardous objects.
Extraordinary care has to be dedicated to
their use and storage.
1. Treat every rifle as though it was loaded. Do
not take anyone’s word or automatically assume
it is not loaded. Check your rifle personally each
time you handle it. The safe and courteous way
to carry a rifle when you are with others is to
leave the bolt open so that they can easily see
that the rifle cannot be fired. Make sure that the
rifle is not loaded when you stop shooting. Make
sure your rifle is unloaded before every transport.
Never pick up your rifle with your finger on the
trigger or the trigger guard.
2. Whenever you pick up your rifle, point the
muzzle at the ground. Always point the
muzzle of the barrel in a safe direction. Never
pull a rifle towards you by the muzzle.
3. Only use your rifle in approved shooting
ranges. Shoot your rifle only under good
visibility and daylight conditions. If you use
your rifle in an indoors range, make sure it is
adequately ventilated. Make sure that there
is a safe bullet trap which can be seen from
all sides and that there is no one in the vicinity
of your target. Be absolutely sure of a safe
backstop and target. Never fire at a hard,
smooth surface or water. Never shoot at a
skyline target or into the air. Do not shoot at
anything from which a bullet might ricochet.
Never fire your rifle with the muzzle in the
water or against any other material to avoid
an accident or damage of your rifle.
4. Be sure that you use the correct am-
munition. The correct caliber can be seen on
your rifle. Load your rifle only when you are
at the range and ready to shoot. Use only
genuine ANSCHÜTZ magazines. Do not
exceed the stated magazine capacity. Alte-
rations to the rifle or the use of non-AN-
SCHÜTZ magazines and accessories may
cause malfunctions.
Please note
There is no substitute for personal responsibility
and common sense in the handling, use and
storage of firearms. Securely store your
unloaded guns away from access by children
or unauthorized adults.
