Please read carefully the following articles before using this rifle. It is extremely important that you become thoroughly familiar with this rifle and its operating characteristics by carefully reading and understanding the instructions in this booklet before you attempt any use of it with ammunition.

Should you still have problems with the safe usage and correct handling of your rifle or should you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact a competent gunsmith or dealer or address our factory directly. Warning: This rifle can be dangerous if it is not used correctly. The privilege of ownership and safe use of your rifle carries a personal responsibility that no one should take lightly. Rifle accidents would not occur if the following rules of shooting safety were observed.

1. Treat every rifle as though it was loaded, even if you have personally checked it. 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.

2. Whenever you pick up your rifle, point the muzzle at the ground. Make sure that the rifle is not loaded anymore when you stop shooting. Make sure your rifle is unloaded before every transport. Never pick up your rifle with your finger on the trigger guard.

3. Always point the muzzle of the barrel in a safe direction. 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. Never pull a rifle towards you by the muzzle.

4. Before you shoot inspect your backstop. 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, flat surface or water. Never shoot at a skyline target or into the air. Do not shoot at anything from which a pellet may ricochet.

5. The correct calibre of your rifle can be seen from your rifle. Be sure that you use the correct ammunition. Load your rifle only when you are at the range and ready to shoot.

6. Always keep your rifle clean. Be sure the bore is not obstructed by dirt, water, grease, snow or any other foreign materials. Never fire your rifle with the muzzle in the water or against any other material to avoid an accident or damage of your rifle.

7. Always use approved hearing protection and approved shatterproof eye protection while shooting. You must be in good physical condition and mental health and not under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgement. Do not use your rifle when you are tired. Tiredness may result in loss of control.

8. Place the safety fully into "S" (safe) or "F" (fire) position - never in between. Always keep safety in full "safe" position until ready to fire. Do not put your finger on trigger when operating the safety or whenever you are not ready to shoot. Be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction when operating the safety.

9. When not in use your rifle should be stored in a locked and secure place accessible only to you. Check first to make sure it is unloaded. Store the rifle with uncocked trigger. Store ammunition in a separate and secure place. It is your special responsibility to make sure that at all times and especially when you are not present your rifle is well secured, out of any reach of children and other unauthorised persons and in no way accessible to them. If you have occasion to hand your rifle to some other authorised person, make sure that the rifle is unloaded. Never let your rifle be used by anyone who is not familiar with the safe handling of a rifle and these instructions.

10. Watch for any change in the operation of your rifle which might affect its safety. If you suspect a defect or malfunction, stop using it immediately, unload the rifle and send it to a competent gunsmith, the factory or its recommended repair station for inspection. Note: Apart from normal cleaning the rifle must only be disassembled by an authorized gunsmith. Unqualified handling or disassembly can cause injuries or irreparable damage of the rifle.

11. Your ANSCHÜTZ rifle has been carefully built and inspected by skilled technicians to provide maximum efficiency. The service life depends on the owner's care and on cleaning following the owner's manual closely.

12. Your rifle should always be handled with extreme care. Make sure that it is never dropped or placed in such a way that it can fall. For transport purposes your rifle should be dry and clean. We recommend an approved protective gun case.

13. These instructions are extremely important. They should be kept with your rifle and transferred with the rifle to any new owner. Do not lend your rifle without the owner's manual. Be sure that anyone using your rifle read and understand the information contained in this manual.

14. This rifle must only be operated by or under the supervision of a responsible adult.

15. Only use the rifle at a shooting range licensed for air rifle shooting. When using a rifle observe the corresponding regulations and laws for the safe handling of firearms.

a) Only check the manometer level at the compressed air cylinder when the rifle

b) Filled compressed air cylinders must not be exposed to temperatures of more

c) Compressed air cylinders which are leaky, defective or older than 10 years must not

d) Compressed air cylinders and refill bottles must be stored in a dry, dust and

e) Protect valves and threads with the corresponding covers when you have removed

f) Compressed air cylinders must not be filled with more than 200 bar (2,790 psi)

According to legal regulations we only deliver unfilled compressed air cylinders.

g) Attention: The compressed air cylinders are not screwed in all the way when they

h) If your compressed air cylinder is defective it has to be exchanged immediately and

i) Apart from the notes above the technical rules of your country with regard to the filling

a) Only use diabolo air rifle pellets in the calibre of your air rifle; do not use anything

b) The stock of this rifle has been very carefully checked by factory inspectors

c) ANSCHÜTZ does not assume any responsibility for damage of any kind resulting

The stock and the barreled action are packed separately for shipment and need to be assembled. However, do not do this until you have followed all the procedures listed below. After wiping away excess surface oil, the barrelled action should be inserted into he stock. The two bedding screws should then be progressively tightened alternately and uniformly, with the enclosed Allen wrench (No. 4406, Order No. 710.6301). Its handle is especially designed to assist you. To ensure that you obtain the proper torque, we recommend the following procedure; put the rifle upright on the floor with the butt downwards and rest the right side of the stock (viewed towards the muzzle) on your shin and foot. Now support the barrel with the edge of your left index finger and tighten the two bedding screws alternately in steps of one-sixth of a turn. The handle of the Allen wrench should be on the right side of the rifle and be horizontal after each half turn. Use only one finger for the tightening process. Once the rifle is raised from the floor by the increasing tension alone, the correct torque has been achieved. After initial assembly, setting of the stock wood may occur. Consequently, the screws should be tightened periodically in the manner previously described.

Before shooting, the bedding system should be adjusted as necessary - preferably by means of our torque wrench No. 4405 (Order No. 700.6180). In this way, you can tighten the bedding screws to the tension of your choice. An audible, perceptible click indicates when the optimum torque has been reached. Optimal torque is normally about 5 Nm (50 deci-Newton-metres), equivalent to 50 cmkp or 43,4 inlb.

Lift the loading lever and pull it backwards until it is vertical. Thus the cocking piston is cocked. To load push the diabolo pellet with its flat head flush with the front of the loading platform. The cup to accept the pellet is conical to prevent crushing or tilting of the pellet. Lock the breech by firmly pressing the lever forward and down. It is essential that the joint is felt to lock into position. This will be confirmed by a distinct click. With the filled compressed air cylinder the rifle is now ready for shooting. This can be seen from the signal pin at the end of the action. The lateral safety lever can be operated when the rifle is cocked. The rifle is "safe" when the "S" is visible but the "F" is covered. The rifle can be fired when the "F" is visible and the "S" is covered. Attention: The safety lever must latch properly so that the "F" is covered in the "safe" position and the "S" is covered in the "fire" position. The lever must never be situated between the two. Do not store the rifle when it is cocked. Only use diabolo pellets in the calibre of your air rifle.

For safety reasons it is absolutely essential that the rifle is unloaded and uncocked before leaving the shooting position. It is only possible to remove a pellet by firing which should only be done by firing the pellet into a bullet trap. Observe the safety regulations when you use your rifle.

For more information see enclosure "Match triggers"

You can do dry firing without cocking the rifle and without using any rifle pellets.

Turn the compressed air cylinder 2-3 turns out to interrupt the connection between the compressed air cylinder and the chamber. Attention: Be aware that there is still air in the chamber even if the supply of compressed air has been interrupted. This air can be removed by shooting it off. Now you can dry fire by cocking the rifle as usual.

The compressed air cylinder can also be removed completely for dry firing, which reduces the total weight, however.

The rifle is equipped with an interchangeable compressed air cylinder. The compressed air cylinder is removed by turning it counter-clockwise. This can be done manually or with the help of a hexagon key which has to be plugged in the countersunk of the cylinder cap. The compressed air cylinder must carefully be screwed onto the chamber to avoid any damage.

Attention: Only use refill bottles with a maximum pressure of 200 bar (2790 psi) Only use compressed air free of oil and water. Make sure that there is no oil or grease at the connecting threads.

Only screw the adapter (Order No. 711.3409), which is delivered with your rifle on the compressed air bottle. Then screw on the compressed air cylinder on the adapter and tighten the hexagon screws to avoid that air can escapte. Now open the valve of the bottle very slowly. Wait for appr. 5 seconds (The compressed air cylinder will heat up slightly during the refilling process). Close the valve of the compressed air bottle completely. Now remove the air from the adapter by releasing the hexagon screw. When the air has left the adapter, tighten the hexagon screw again. Now remove the compressed air cylinder and screw it on the rifle by hand.

With a full cylinder (max. 200 bar/2790 psi) appr. 350 shots can be fired. Compressed air bottles (Order No. 711.3510) and hand pumps (Order No. d711.3520) are available in specialised gun shops or in specialised shops for diving equipment.The compressed air cylinder has a maximum service life of 10 years. The manufacturing year can be seen from the compressed air cylinder.

Compressed air bottles with an allowed filling pressure of 300 bar (4,185 psi) are offered as well. These bottles have the same thread as the bottles with a filling pressure of 200 bar (2,790 psi). In case you use a bottle with a filling pressure of 300 bar (4,185 psi) it is absolutely necessary to use a pressure reducer which is adapted to 200 bar /2,790 psi). For reasons of safety it is not allowed to fill the compressed air cylinder with more than the maximum pressure of 200 bar (2,790 psi). It is also not allowed to use such a compressed air cylinder or to store it. Please therefore strictly observe the instruction for the filling of the compressed air cylinder and the corresponding Technical Rules of your country.
