Shooting accidents are often caused by careless oversights such as failing to control the direction of the muzzle, failing to fully engage the safety, leaving ammunition in the chamber or using improper loads. These oversights can result in the destruction of life, limb or property. There's no calling back a bullet once it's been fired, so it's critical that you know the principles of safe gun handling and storage before you ever take your new Remington firearm out of the box.

With the bolt handle fully raised, use your left hand to pull the trigger and hold it to the rear. Keeping the trigger pulled fully to the rear, pull the bolt to the rear and out the receiver. (See Picture 10). Picture 10 WARNING The bolt has been fitted at the factory to assure proper head space when used with this particular rifle. Never interchange bolts from one rifle to another as this may affect head space leading to a potentially hazardous situation. If your bolt is damaged or lost, return your rifle to the factory for replacement with a properly fitted bolt. 9 External Control Parts (cont'd)) THE TRIGGER: The trigger mechanism has been preset at the factory. (See Ninth Commandment of Firearms Safety. ) THE BARREL: Some of the metal parts of your rifle have had a rust preventative compound applied at the factory to protect the metal during shipment.

To clean the barrel, refer to the Cleaning Instructions in this Owner's Manual. Operating Instructions Model Five rifles are manufactured with a 5-round detachable box magazine.
