7.Your rifle is now in the ready-to-fire condition, loaded with a round in the chamber and a full magazine.

NOTE

Single loading: Your rifle may be loaded with a single round in the chamber and no cartridges in the magazine. To single-load the rifle, simply skip Steps 4 and 5 above.

Loading the magazine only: Your rifle may be loaded with no round in the chamber and a full magazine. To accomplish this type of loading, follow Steps l through 5 above. Then do not load a round directly into the chamber and press down on the top cartridge of the magazine as you slide the bolt closed over that cartridge. The bolt will now be closed over an empty chamber. A round may subsequently be loaded into the chamber for firing by opening and fully retracting the bolt and then closing the bolt, stripping off the top cartridge from the magazine into the chamber.
