2.6 Bolt Action Rifles
Bolt Action: Bolt-action rifles are strong and simple
to use.
- Lift the bolt handle up and pull it back to open the
action.
- To close the action, push the bolt handle forward and
turn the bolt handle down. When the bolt is open, the rifle
cannot fire.
Most bolt-action rifles are repeaters. That means they have
extra cartridges in a magazine.
The job of the magazine is to hold extra cartridges. After
the rifle is fired, manually working the bolt ejects the empty case and loads a fresh
cartridge from the magazine.
Different bolt-action guns have different types of magazines.
Know where the magazine is and how it works on your gun.
