IMPORTANT “SAFETY WARNINGS” — NOTE THE SYMBOL
THESE SAFETY WARNINGS ARE FOR YOUR PROTECTION AS WELL AS
THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. DISREGARDING INFORMATION IN THIS
MANUAL MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Be certain this owner’s manual is available for reference and is kept with
this firearm if transferred to another party. If the manual is lost or
misplaced, contact Mossberg for a free replacement copy.
After performing any work on your firearm such as cleaning, adjustments,
disassembly, or installation of any accessory, the firearm should be
re-checked for proper functioning before firing live ammunition.
Firearms are complicated mechanisms. Any modification, alteration, or
improper fitting of parts may result in a dangerous malfunction, damage
to the firearm and injury to the shooter and other persons. The firearm’s
owner must accept full responsibility for the correct reassembly and
functioning of the firearm after any disassembly or replacement of parts.
If you do not understand any of the material in this manual or have any
questions, contact Mossberg or a qualified gunsmith directly.
Do not attempt to load or use any firearm until you have read and
understood the information contained in its owner’s manual. Before handling
your firearm, you should learn how it operates and how to maintain it.
This includes knowing its basic parts, how the manual safety and other
safety features operate, how to safely open and close the action, and
how to safely load and unload ammunition from the firearm. Improper
use and handling is dangerous and could cause serious injury or death
to you or those around you. All users of the firearm must become
thoroughly familiar with the instructions in this manual.

Safety and safe firearms handling is everyone’s responsibility.
As the owner of a firearm, you must undertake the full-time responsibility
of safe firearms handling for your own safety and the safety of those
around you:
• Keep all firearms and ammunition out of the reach of children.
• Store your firearms and ammunition separately.
• Never store a loaded firearm.
• Never leave a loaded firearm unattended.
• Never transport a loaded firearm in a vehicle.
• Unload your firearm when you have stopped shooting and when
you have to climb a tree, fence, cross a slippery surface or have
to transport it in a vehicle.
• Do not load your firearm before you are in a place where it is safe
to shoot, and keep your finger off the trigger until you are on target
and have decided to fire.
• Never shoot at water, rocks or any hard surfaces. Shots may
glance off such surfaces and cause injuries.
• Do not use alcohol or drugs before or while handling firearms.
• Do not touch the trigger while the safety button is being engaged
or disengaged.
Always point the muzzle of your firearm in a safe direction, regardless
of whether the firearm is loaded or unloaded.
Always treat every firearm as if it were loaded. Give your firearm to
someone with the action open (bolt fully rearward) and safety lever
pulled fully to the rear to the “ON” (SAFE) position, after you verify the
firearm is unloaded. Insist on the same procedure when receiving a
firearm from someone else. Learn the location of all the safety features
of your firearm and how they operate.
Wear eye and ear protection when shooting. Shooting without proper ear
protection can cause hearing damage. The use of eye protection during
any type of shooting is important to protect your vision.
Due to the heavy recoil of a firearm, maintain an adequate distance
between the rear of the scope (if equipped) and your face at all times.
Be certain the scope installation does not interfere with access to, or the
proper functioning of the safety lever.
WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE
OR INJURY WHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH,
OR AS A RESULT OF, THE USE OF FAULTY, OR NON-SAAMI
STANDARD, OR “REMANUFACTURED” OR HAND-LOADED
(RELOADED) AMMUNITION. ADDITIONALLY, WE DISCLAIM ANY
RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE OR INJURY WHICH RESULTS
FROM ANY MODIFICATIONS OR CHANGES THAT ARE NOT A PART
OF THE FIREARM AS DELIVERED FROM THE FACTORY.
Learn to clean your firearm thoroughly and make certain no oil, grease,
or other materials are blocking the barrel. Obstructions of any kind can
cause damage to the firearm, and may result in serious personal injury
to the shooter and/or others nearby.
Practice proper firearm maintenance and safety. Make sure all exposed
metal surfaces are coated with a thin film of oil, especially after being
exposed to damp weather. (See proper section of this manual for cleaning
instructions). Do not plug barrel or store in a fabric-lined case which will
absorb lubricants from the firearms. Before using after storage, follow
complete instructions stated in this manual for refamiliarization with the
firearm. A thorough inspection should be performed before going into the
field. Have your firearm periodically checked by a qualified gunsmith.
PART NO. 18243
REV. A
A note about the warnings and information contained in this Manual:
We strongly suggest that you check with your local licensed retailer or state
police for additional information concerning firearms ownership, or hunting or
target shooting rules that may be required by local law or regulation. Since such
rules and regulations are subject to change, local authorities are in the best
position to advise you on such matters.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand this entire manual and its safety warnings before
handling this firearm.
UNPACKING YOUR NEW BOLT ACTION RIFLE
Visually and physically inspect the inside of the barrel and receiver to ensure they
are free of any excess oil, grease or any obstructions. Obstructions of any kind
can cause damage to the firearm and may result in serious personal injury to the
shooter and/or others nearby.
MECHANICAL SAFETY
The mechanical safety lever consists of a knurled lever on the right side of the
receiver immediately to the rear of the bolt handle. To put the safety in the “ON”
(SAFE) position, move the safety lever fully rearward. For safe firearm handling,
learn the feel of the positive “ON” and “OFF” positions of the safety lever. The
safety can be activated only when the rifle is cocked or the bolt is fully opened. DO
NOT check if the action is cocked by pulling the trigger, check first to insure the rifle
is unloaded.
Remember, a firearm’s manual safety is a mechanical device which can
never replace safe firearm handling practices.
Never rely on any mechanical mechanism or safety device to prevent the
dangers of careless handling or pointing a firearm in an unsafe direction.
To put the safety in the “ON” (SAFE) position, move the safety lever fully
rearward. The safety lever will now cover the red dot. The red dot is a training
aid used to show the direction of the “ON” (SAFE) position and should not
be used as an indicator that the safety is “ON” or “OFF” (Fig. 2).

To put the safety in the “OFF” or “FIRE” position, move the safety lever
forward.

Figure 2
The mechanical safety lever of your Mossberg firearm works directly with the
trigger assembly. For this reason, the trigger mechanism is permanently set at the
factory. Any attempt to change these factory settings may render the safety
inoperative and thus create a hazardous condition that could cause serious injury
or death to you or those around you. The trigger and safety mechanisms have
been designed to function properly in their original condition. Any changes to those
mechanisms are specifically contrary to our instructions and we expressly DO
NOT authorize any changes to be made after original manufacture.
TO INSTALL BOLT IN THE RIFLE
Visually and physically check to make certain there is no ammunition in
the chamber or magazine. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at
all times.
A.
With the bolt handle pointing up and to the right, align the locking lugs on the
bolt with the matching machined cuts in the rear of the receiver.
B.
Push the bolt forward gently into the receiver about one inch, until the bolt-stop
snaps into place behind the bolt lugs holding the bolt in place.
