2. Mounting the Scope

1. Locate the dovetail rail on top of the rifle's receiver.
2. Attach the provided scope mount to the rail, ensuring it is securely fastened.
3. Place the 4x32 scope into the rings of the mount.
4. Adjust the scope's position for proper eye relief (approximately 3 inches from your eye when shouldering the rifle).
5. Tighten the scope rings evenly to secure the scope without overtightening.

3. Adjusting the Cheek Rest

The rifle features an adjustable cheek rest. Loosen the adjustment screws, position the cheek rest to comfortably align your eye with the scope or iron sights, and then tighten the screws to secure it.

Operating Instructions

1. Loading the Rifle

1. Ensure the rifle's safety is engaged.
2. Firmly grasp the barrel and "break" it downwards until the spring is cocked and the breech is exposed. You will hear a click when it is fully cocked.
3. Insert one 4.5mm (.177 cal) pellet into the breech, ensuring the skirt of the pellet is fully seated.
4. Return the barrel to its original position, ensuring it locks securely.

2. Firing the Rifle

1. With the rifle loaded and cocked, aim at your target.
2. Disengage the safety.
3. Gently squeeze the trigger to fire.
4. After firing, re-engage the safety if you are not immediately reloading and firing again.

3. Sighting In the Scope

To achieve accuracy, you will need to "sight in" your scope. This involves adjusting the scope's windage and elevation turrets until the point of impact matches your point of aim at a specific distance. Start at a close range (e.g., 10-15 yards) and gradually increase the distance as accuracy improves.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

• Barrel: Periodically clean the barrel using a .177 caliber cleaning kit. Use a cleaning rod with a patch to remove lead residue. Do not use excessive oil in the barrel.
• Exterior: Wipe down the exterior of the rifle with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. A lightly oiled cloth can be used on metal parts to prevent rust.
• Scope Lenses: Use a lens cleaning cloth and solution specifically designed for optical lenses.

2. Storage

Store your Swiss Arms TG-1 rifle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is unloaded and the safety is engaged before storage. Keep it in a secure location inaccessible to unauthorized users, especially children.
