FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

As a firearm owner, you accept a set of demanding responsibilities. How seriously you take these responsibilities can be the difference between life and death. 

There is no excuse for careless or abusive handling of any firearm. At all times handle this firearm and all other firearms with intense respect for their power and potential danger. 

Please read and understand all of the cautions, warnings, notices, proper handling procedures, and instructions outlined in this owner’s manual before using your new firearm. 

1 - ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE OF YOUR FIREARM POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE CERTAIN IT IS UNLOADED. Never point any firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot. Be extremely alert and aware of all persons and property within the range of your ammunition.

2 - NEVER RELY TOTALLY ON YOUR FIREARM'S MECHANICAL “SAFETY” DEVICE. LIKE ANY MECHANICAL DEVICE, A "SAFETY" CAN SOMETIMES FAIL; IT CAN BE JARRED OR INADVERTENTLY MANIPULATED INTO AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

The word “safety” describes a firearm’s trigger block mechanism, sear block mechanism, hammer block mechanism or firing pin block mechanism. 

Mechanical “safeties” are designed to place your firearm in a safer status, and no guarantee can be made that the firearm will not fire even if the “safety” is in the on safe position. Mechanical “safeties” merely aid safe gun handling and are no excuse for pointing your firearm’s muzzle in an unsafe direction. See the “Operation of the Safety’” section for instructions on the operation of this firearm’s “safety.”

Remember, safe gun handling does not stop with your firearm’s mechanical “safety” devices, it starts there. Always treat this firearm with the respect due a loaded, ready-to-fire firearm.

Some firearms do not have a mechanical “safety.”  Many target firearms, lever-action firearms and pistols do not have manual “safety” mechanisms. Therefore it is critical to read and understand the owner’s manual for every firearm which explains the safe operation of the firearm. 

While it is a good idea to “test” your firearm’s mechanical “safety” periodically for proper function, never test the “safety” while your firearm is loaded or pointed in an unsafe direction.

3 - WHENEVER YOU HANDLE ANY FIREARM, OR HAND IT TO SOMEONE, ALWAYS OPEN THE ACTION IMMEDIATELY AND VISUALLY CHECK THE FIREARM'S CHAMBER TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE FIREARM IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. Make certain the firearm does not inadvertently contain any ammunition. Remember, merely removing the magazine does not mean the chamber is unloaded. Always keep the chamber empty and the “safety” in the on safe position unless shooting is imminent. 

4 - ALWAYS WEAR EAR AND EYE PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING. Unprotected, repeated exposure to gunfire can cause hearing damage. Wear hearing protection (shooting earplugs or muffs) to guard against such damage. 

Wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles. Allow proper distance (eye relief) between a scope and your eye when firing a scoped pistol, rifle or shotgun. Do not use unorthodox shooting methods that could cause the rearward travel of the slide or bolt of a firearm to contact your eyes, face or hands. Always keep a safe distance between the muzzle of your firearm and any persons nearby, as muzzle blast, debris and ejecting cartridges could inflict serious injury. 

Always wear eye protection when disassembling and cleaning any firearm to prevent the possibility of springs, spring-tensioned parts, solvents or other  agents from contacting your eyes.

5 - KEEP ALL FIREARMS UNLOADED DURING TRANSPORT, EVEN WHEN STORED IN A HOLSTER, GUN CASE, SCABBARD, OR OTHER CONTAINER. 

6 - DROPPING OR JARRING A LOADED FIREARM CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE. This can occur even with the “safety” in the on safe position.  Be extremely careful while hunting or during any shooting activity to avoid dropping any firearm.

7 - HUNTING FROM ELEVATED SURFACES SUCH AS TREESTANDS IS DANGEROUS. Doing so may increase the risk of mishandling a firearm. The following rules should always be observed by you and those you hunt with. Always make certain that the stand being used is safe and stable. Always make certain that your firearm is unloaded when it is being taken up and down from the stand. Always make certain that your firearm is not dropped from the stand, or dropped while it is being taken up or down from the stand. Remember, a loaded firearm may discharge when dropped, even with the “safety” in the on safe position.

8 - STORE YOUR FIREARM AND AMMUNITION SEPARATELY, WELL BEYOND THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Take prudent safeguards to ensure your firearm does not become available to untrained, inexperienced or unwelcome hands. Store all firearms in secure, locked cases or a gun safe. Keep your firearm unloaded when not in use.

9 - BEWARE BARREL OBSTRUCTIONS. Mud, snow and an infinite variety of other objects may inadvertently lodge in a barrel bore. It only takes a small obstruction to cause dangerously increased pressures that can damage your firearm and cause serious injury to yourself and others.

BEFORE CHECKING FOR A BARREL OBSTRUCTION, BE CERTAIN YOUR FIREARM IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED, THERE IS NOT A LIVE CARTRIDGE IN  THE CHAMBER AND THE “SAFETY” IS IN THE  ON SAFE POSITION.

After ensuring that the firearm is completely unloaded, open the breech or action and look through the barrel to be sure it is clear of obstructions. If an obstruction is seen, no matter how small it may be, clean the bore with a cleaning rod and patch as described in the Cleaning and Maintenance section of this owner’s manual.

10 - BE ALERT TO THE SIGNS OF AMMUNITION MALFUNCTION. IF YOU DETECT AN OFF SOUND OR LIGHT RECOIL WHEN A CARTRIDGE IS FIRED, DO NOT LOAD ANOTHER CARTRIDGE INTO THE CHAMBER.

If your firearm fails to fire, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction for a minimum of 30 seconds. Rotate the ejection area of the firearm away from you, carefully open the action and remove the cartridge from the chamber. If the primer is indented, the defective cartridge should be disposed of in a way that cannot cause harm. If the primer is not indented, your firearm should be examined by a qualified gunsmith and the cause of the malfunction corrected before further use. Glance down the barrel to make sure that no obstructions remain in the barrel. Completely clear the barrel before loading and firing again. Failure to follow these instructions can cause extensive damage to your firearm and possible serious injury to yourself and others. 

11 - NEVER INSERT A CARTRIDGE OF THE INCORRECT CALIBER INTO ANY FIREARM. The caliber of your firearm is marked on the barrel. Store all cartridges of different calibers in completely separate and well-marked containers. Never store cartridges of mixed calibers in a common container or in your pockets. See the Ammunition Section for more information on the correct ammunition for your firearm.

12 - EXAMINE EVERY CARTRIDGE YOU PUT IN YOUR FIREARM.

We assume no responsibility for the use of unsafe or improper firearm and ammunition combinations or damage or injury caused by damaged ammunition. It is your responsibility to read and heed all warnings in this owner’s manual and on ammunition boxes. See the Ammunition Section for more information on the correct ammunition for your firearm.

13 - USE ONLY SAAMI APPROVED AMMUNITION.

The barrel and action of this firearm have been made with safety margins over the pressures established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) for Service Cartridges. However, we assume no responsibility for incidents which occur through the use of cartridges of nonstandard dimension or those developing pressures in excess of SAAMI established standards.

14 - DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS, CLEANING FIREARMS OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE.. 

15 - DO NOT SNAP THE FIRING PIN ON AN EMPTY CHAMBER, THE CHAMBER MAY NOT BE EMPTY!

Treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded firearm,  even though you are certain the firearm is unloaded.

16 - KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER WHILE LOADING AND UNLOADING UNTIL SHOOTING IS IMMINENT.

17 - BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND BACKSTOP, PARTICULARLY DURING LOW LIGHT PERIODS. Know the range of your ammunition. Never shoot at water or hard objects.

18 - ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM'S CHAMBER BEFORE CROSSING A FENCE, CLIMBING A TREE, JUMPING A DITCH OR NEGOTIATING OTHER OBSTACLES. Never place your firearm on or against a fence, tree, car, or other similar object.

19 - BE DEFENSIVE AND ON GUARD AGAINST UNSAFE GUN HANDLING AROUND YOU AND OTHERS. Don’t be timid when it comes to firearm safety. If you observe other shooters violating any of these safety precautions, politely suggest safer handling practices.

20 - BE CERTAIN YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED BEFORE CLEANING. Because so many firearm accidents occur when a firearm is being cleaned, special and extreme care should be taken to be sure your firearm is unloaded before disassembly, cleaning and reassembly. 

Keep ammunition away from the cleaning location. Never test the mechanical function of any firearm with live ammunition.

21 - TEACH AND SUPERVISE FIREARMS SAFETY TO ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY, ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN AND NON-SHOOTERS. Closely supervise newcomers to the shooting sports. Encourage enrollment in hunting and shooting safety courses.

22 - NEVER DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR TAKE ANY TYPE OF DRUGS BEFORE OR DURING SHOOTING. Your vision, motor skills, and judgment could be dangerously impaired, making your gun handling unsafe to you and to others.

23 - READ AND HEED ALL WARNINGS IN THIS OWNER'S MANUAL, ON AMMUNITION BOXES, AND WITH ALL ACCESSORIES THAT YOU INSTALL ON YOUR FIREARM. It is your responsibility to secure the most up-to-date information on the safe handling procedures of your Winchester firearm. We assume no liability for incidents which occur when unsafe or improper firearm accessories or ammunition combinations are used.

24 - PRACTICE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE, AVOID UNAUTHORIZED SERVICING. Your firearm is a mechanical device which will not last forever, and as such, is subject to wear and requires periodic inspection, adjustment and service. Winchester firearms should be serviced by a Winchester Repeating Arms Authorized Repair Center or by our Service Facility in Arnold, Missouri. We assume no responsibility for injuries suffered or caused by unauthorized servicing, alterations or modifications of Winchester firearms.

25 - DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ALTER THE TRIGGER, "SAFETY" OR OTHER PARTS OF THE FIRING MECHANISM OF THIS OR ANY OTHER FIREARM EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL. 

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE ON FIREARMS THAT HAVE BEEN ALTERED, ADDED TO OR SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED. Removal of metal from the barrel, or modifications of the firing mechanism and/or operating parts, may lead to a refusal of service on such firearms. You will be charged for parts and labor to return the firearm to original specifications prior to servicing your firearm.

With respect to AFTERMARKET PARTS OR COMPONENTS (including, for example, aftermarket trigger systems, barrels, muzzle brakes, suppressors, magazines, etc.), USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Winchester firearms are designed and engineered to meet stringent safety standards. Winchester Repeating Arms is not responsible for personal injuries or property damage caused by alterations to a firearm. This includes the incorporation of aftermarket parts or components that may or may not satisfy Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) standards (for example, an aftermarket trigger system may not satisfy SAAMI minimum trigger pull standards, etc.) or may create other dangerous conditions. These conditions may or may not be apparent to the user (for example, installing an aftermarket barrel may have the effect of altering critical firearm dimensions, including headspace, and may create an unsafe firing condition, etc.). Aftermarket parts or components that do not satisfy SAAMI standards, or that could create other dangerous conditions, should not be used.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, AS WELL AS CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR FIREARM.

Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 for general part descriptions regarding your new rifle. Figure 3 covers the general features and benefits of the Ranger design. The appearance of your rifle may be slightly different, depending on the version you purchased. 

You must become familiar with all the part names listed before proceeding with the rest of the instructions in this owner’s manual.

SERIAL NUMBER

The serial number of your Ranger is located on the bottom tang, underneath the lever. Record the serial number at the front of this owner’s manual for future reference.

WARNING: WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING YOUR RIFLE TO PREVENT SPRINGS, SPRING-LOADED PARTS, SOLVENTS, OR OTHER AGENTS FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN INJURY.

Various exposed metal parts of your new firearm have been coated at the factory with a rust preventative compound. Before firing your rifle, clean the anti-rust compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, and the action-chamber areas. A fine, light gun oil is ideal for removing this compound and for giving your new firearm its first lubrication. Clean the barrel using a cleaning rod and patch as explained under the “Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions” section. If your rifle is to be stored, it is acceptable to leave the rust preventative compound on the rifle and keep it in its original packaging. 

Before beginning the first firing of your Ranger you should first wipe the mechanism completely clean. Clean the bore and apply a few drops of quality oil on the following surfaces (Figure 4):

• Along the bolt surface.
• Along the bolt rails in the receiver.
• On all pivot points and bearing surfaces on the hammer, bolt lock, and finger lever mechanisms.
• The lifter and lifter plunger.

Avoid applying too much oil. Only a light film is necessary. Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions should be followed before each oiling.

WARNING: ALWAYS KEEP THE HAMMER IN THE HALF-COCK POSITION UNLESS SHOOTING IS IMMINENT. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Like many classic lever-action rifles with an exposed hammer, the Ranger does not have a separate manual “safety.”

While you should never rely on the half-cock hammer position to function as a “safety,” the exposed hammer itself is an ideal safety status indicator since it alerts you when the rifle is cocked and ready-to-fire or when the hammer is in the half-cock or dropped position. The hammer has three positions: Full-cock, half-cock, and dropped (fired).

FULL-COCK POSITION

The hammer is in the full-cock position when it is fully to the rear (Figure 5). At this point, any pull or force on the trigger could allow the hammer to fall, firing the rifle. The hammer can be placed in this position in either of two ways:

• Every time the lever is cycled, the hammer is placed in the full-cock position.
• The hammer may also be placed in the full-cock position by manually moving it rearward with your thumb until it engages the full-cock notch.

WARNING: WHEN COCKING THE HAMMER WITH YOUR THUMB,  BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. ALWAYS KEEP THE HAMMER IN THE HALF-COCK POSITION UNLESS SHOOTING IS IMMINENT. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD  RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

HALF-COCK POSITION

The half-cock position (Figure 6) is the recommended position when carrying the rifle in the field and for storage, as it does not allow the hammer to rest against the inertia striker. Using your thumb, the hammer may be moved to the full-cock position from the half-cock position whenever desired. 

NOTE: When the hammer is in the half-cock position, there is a gap between the hammer and the bolt as shown in Figure 6.

DROPPED (FIRED) POSITION

In this position the hammer is fully down (Figure 7). This is the position of the hammer after a cartridge is fired.

WARNING: THE DROPPED HAMMER POSITION IS NOT A RECOMMENDED HAMMER POSITION WHEN CARRYING, HANDLING, OR STORING YOUR RIFLE. ALWAYS KEEP THE HAMMER IN THE HALF-COCK POSITION UNLESS SHOOTING IS IMMINENT. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: WHEN MOVING THE HAMMER TO THE HALF-COCK POSITION, ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. 

WHEN THE TRIGGER IS DEPRESSED, THE HALF-COCK NOTCH WILL NOT CATCH THE HAMMER IF IT SHOULD ACCIDENTALLY SLIP DURING THIS OPERATION. 

ALWAYS KEEP THE HAMMER IN THE HALF-COCK POSITION UNLESS SHOOTING IS IMMINENT. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

NEVER USE A HAMMER EXTENSION (HAMMER SPUR) ON THE RANGER. USING A HAMMER EXTENSION CAN RESULT IN A MALFUNCTION AND POSSIBLY CREATE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

LOWERING THE HAMMER

In order to move the hammer from full-cock to the half-cock position, the trigger must be depressed briefly to initiate the forward travel of the hammer. A little practice with the rifle unloaded will enable you to become adept at using your thumb in this manner. If a cartridge has already been chambered, you need only thumb the hammer back to its full-cock position to prepare the rifle for firing. Otherwise, operate the lever in the usual manner to cock the rifle and feed a cartridge from the magazine into the chamber.

When lowering the hammer to the half-cock position, perform the following recommended procedure:

1. Place the point of the thumb in the “V” space between the hammer and the inertia striker so that it can act as a cushion against accidental hammer fall (Figure 8). The thumb can be easily adjusted as the hammer approaches the half-cock position. When a scope is mounted on the rifle, it is necessary to insert the tip of the thumb from the side.

2. While firmly holding the hammer with your thumb, squeeze the trigger to release the hammer.

3. Remove your finger from the trigger and slowly ease the hammer to the half-cock position (Figure 9).

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION

•  It is recommended that you keep the action open (with the finger lever down) when your rifle is laying on a bench or table at a shooting range or other facility, and at all other times except when you are in the field and shooting is imminent.

WARNING: DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS, CLEANING FIREARMS, OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM, AND OTHER  SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE.

DO NOT USE AMMUNITION OTHER THAN WHAT IS INSCRIBED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BARREL. EXAMINE EVERY CARTRIDGE YOU LOAD INTO YOUR FIREARM.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. 

The barrel and action of this firearm have been made with safety margins over the pressures established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) for Service Cartridges. However, we assume no responsibility for incidents which occur through the use of cartridges of nonstandard dimension or those developing pressures in excess of SAAMI established standards.

The Ranger must be used only with 22 Long Rifle rimfire ammunition as designated on the barrel.

The magazine will hold 15, 22 Long Rifle cartridges.

WARNING: WHEN LOADING YOUR RIFLE ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, ALWAYS PLACE THE HAMMER IN THE HALF-COCK POSITION. KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE, DO NOT CARRY YOUR RIFLE WITH A CARTRIDGE IN THE CHAMBER. WHEN FIRING IS NO LONGER IMMINENT, PLACE THE HAMMER IN THE HALF-COCK POSITION AND UNLOAD THE CHAMBER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

LOADING THE MAGAZINE

The Ranger utilizes a tubular magazine positioned under the barrel.

1. Open the action to make sure the chamber is empty.

2. Close the action and lower the hammer to the half-cock position.

3. With the muzzle pointing in a safe direction, hold the rifle upside down with the muzzle slightly elevated.

4. Press the knurled end of the magazine assembly slightly inward and rotate it counterclockwise until the tab aligns with the slot in the outer magazine tube (Figure 10). Pull the magazine assembly forward until the follower at the rear end of the assembly clears the loading port in the outer magazine tube (Figure 11).

NOTE: An O-ring is installed at the top of the magazine assembly, just below the knurled end, to minimize vibration and noise.

5. Insert the cartridges into the loading port with the bullet end toward the muzzle, allowing them to slide toward the receiver. When a cartridge is visible in the loading port the magazine is then loaded to full capacity (Figure 12). 

6. Slide the magazine assembly into the outer magazine tube. Align the tab on the magazine assembly with the slot on the outer magazine tube. Rotate the magazine assembly clockwise in the slot until it locks in place.

LOADING THE CHAMBER

The chamber is loaded by transferring a cartridge that was previously loaded into the magazine into the chamber by operating the finger lever.

1. Open the action to make sure the chamber is empty.

2. Close the action and lower the hammer to the half-cock position.

3. Load the magazine.

4. Load the chamber by cycling the finger lever fully down and returning it up with the bolt in the fully closed position (Figure 13)

WARNING: THE RIFLE IS NOW READY TO FIRE BY SIMPLY PULLING THE TRIGGER. 

5. Immediately lower the hammer to the half-cock position as explained above.

WARNING: NEVER CHAMBER A CARTRIDGE OR PLACE THE HAMMER IN THE FULL-COCK POSITION UNLESS SHOOTING IS IMMINENT. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

1. Load the chamber of the rifle as explained previously.

WARNING: THE RIFLE IS NOW READY TO FIRE BY SIMPLY PULLING THE TRIGGER. 

2. Immediately lower the hammer to the half-cock position.

3. When shooting is imminent, use your thumb to draw the hammer back and into the full-cock position (Figure 14 and Figure 15).

4. Take aim, and when on target, squeeze the trigger. After firing, release the trigger to the fully forward position.

5. To continue shooting, swing the finger lever fully down, extracting and ejecting the fired cartridge case from the chamber.

6. Close the action by returning the finger lever upward. The closing of the action will transfer a loaded cartridge from the magazine to the chamber, leaving the hammer in the full-cock, ready-to-fire position. 

If you wish to continue shooting, repeat steps 4-6. If you are finished shooting go immediately to step 7. You may continue shooting until the magazine is empty, at which time you will need to either reload the magazine with cartridges (if shooting is imminent), or fully unload your rifle (if shooting is completed).

7. When firing is completed or when shooting is no longer imminent, immediately move the hammer to the half-cock position. Under no circumstances should you move on or continue to hunt with the hammer in the full-cock position.

WARNING: AFTER FIRING, OR WHEN SHOOTING IS NO LONGER IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY ENSURE THE HAMMER IS  IN THE HALF-COCK POSITION. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: WHEN UNLOADING YOUR RIFLE ALWAYS KEEP THE  MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

ALWAYS INSPECT THE CHAMBER, FEED MECHANISM, AND MAGAZINE CAREFULLY AFTER UNLOADING TO  BE SURE ALL LIVE CARTRIDGES ARE CLEARED FROM THE FIREARM.

ALWAYS WORK THE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THE LAST UNFIRED CARTRIDGE HAS BEEN EJECTED TO MAKE SURE NO CARTRIDGES REMAIN IN THE CHAMBER OR MAGAZINE. VISUALLY CHECK, HOLDING THE ACTION OPEN, TO MAKE SURE THE CHAMBER IS EMPTY AND THAT THERE ARE NO CARTRIDGES IN THE MAGAZINE.

UNLOADING THE RIFLE USING THE LEVER

Completely unloading your rifle during storage and other appropriate situations is essential to safe gun handling. 

1. Swing the finger lever completely downward. This will extract any cartridge from the chamber and eject it. Capture the cartridge and return the finger lever fully upward. Keep your fingers away from the trigger.

2. Continue to operate the finger lever in the same manner, transferring all the remaining cartridges from the magazine to the chamber and then ejecting them out.

3. When cartridges no longer eject when you cycle the action, visually check the chamber, feed mechanism, and magazine to be certain that the rifle is completely unloaded. After the last cartridge is moved out of the magazine and ejected, immediately close the action and lower the hammer to the half-cock position as explained previously.

UNLOADING THE MAGAZINE

1. Carefully unload the chamber by cycling the finger lever fully down. Keep the bolt open and the lever down.

WARNING: THE LAST CARTRIDGE IN THE MAGAZINE WILL NOT SLIDE OUT OF THE MAGAZINE, BUT WILL BE HELD IN POSITION FOR CHAMBERING. BE SURE TO UNLOAD THIS LAST CARTRIDGE BY CYCLING THE BOLT WITH THE FINGER LEVER.

2. Remove the magazine assembly by unlocking and pulling it completely out of the outer magazine tube.

3. Lower the muzzle of the rifle and catch the empty the cartridges in your hand as they slide out of the magazine. Take care to prevent damaging the cartridges or dropping them on the ground.

4. Insert the magazine assembly into the outer magazine tube and lock it into place.

5. With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, eject the remaining cartridge from the feed mechanism by swinging the finger lever up to chamber the cartridge and then fully down to eject the cartridge. Keep the bolt open and the lever down and visually inspect the rifle, with the action open, to be certain the chamber and magazine are empty.

6. When you are certain the rifle is completely unloaded, return the finger lever to the up position and lower the hammer to the half-cock position as explained earlier.

NOTICE: DO NOT DRY FIRE THE RANGER RIFLE. DRY FIRING MAY DAMAGE THE FIREARM COMPONENTS, POSSIBLY RENDERING THE FIREARM INOPERABLE.

WARNING: BEFORE MOUNTING A SCOPE, SIGHT, OR OTHER ACCESSORIES TO YOUR RIFLE, ALWAYS OPEN THE ACTION AND MAKE CERTAIN YOUR RIFLE IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. PLACE THE HAMMER IN  THE HALF-COCK POSITION. KEEP THE MUZZLE  POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

INSTALLATION

The receiver of the Ranger is designed to accept 3/8" grooved or tip-off type scope mounts and receiver sights. These mounts are available for ¾" or 1" scopes. See your Winchester Repeating Arms dealer to purchase the scope mount bases and rings designed for the Ranger. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions included with optics, bases, and rings when installing them on your rifle. 

NOTICE: ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT BASES FOR THIS RIFLE, OTHERWISE DAMAGE COULD OCCUR TO THE RIFLE.

1. Place your rifle in a gun vise or on a table or other safe/secure location with the top of the receiver upward. Protect the rifle’s finish with rags or other padding.

2. Mount your scope rings and scope as outlined in the instructions supplied with your scope rings and/or scope. Always make sure you have the proper eye relief.

WARNING: BEFORE ADJUSTING THE TRIGGER, ALWAYS PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. ALWAYS INSPECT THE CHAMBER, BARREL AND MAGAZINE CAREFULLY TO BE SURE ALL LIVE CARTRIDGES ARE CLEARED FROM THE FIREARM. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

The Ranger is fitted with adjustable open sights. The proper procedure is to shoot a group with the sights set as they come from the factory (intermediate position on both elevation and windage), and then make incremental adjustments to move the rear sight blade and sight elevator to position the group on your target.

All sight adjustments are a matter of trial and error. Remember, it is usually necessary to adjust your sights when you change type or even brand of ammunition.

Care should be taken not to mar the finish or bend sight components when adjustments are made.

ELEVATION ADJUSTMENTS

1. To adjust point of impact, lift up the blade of the rear sight with your fingers to remove the tension from the notched sight elevator.

2. Slide the notched sight elevator forward or backward (Figure 16).

• Move the rear sight elevator rearward to raise the rear sight and shoot higher on the target.
• Move the rear sight elevator forward to lower the rear sight and shoot lower on the target.

WINDAGE ADJUSTMENTS

1. The rear sight base is secured in place with a set screw in the sight base. To adjust for windage, first loosen the set screw using a 2mm (5/64") hex wrench (Figure 17).

2. Carefully move the rear sight base to the right or left.

• Move the rear sight base to the right to shoot farther to the right on the target.
• Move the rear sight base to the left to shoot farther to the left on the target.

3. Carefully tighten the rear sight set screw. Do not overtighten.

SIGHT PICTURE

The correct sight picture for the sights is with the front sight post resting in the U-shaped notch in the sight blade. The post should rest directly under the point of impact. For example, if you are shooting a smallbore rifle target, the round black bullseye would appear to rest on top of the front post (Figure 18).

The Ranger is easily taken down for cleaning or compact storage.

WARNING: BEFORE DISASSEMBLING YOUR RIFLE, ALWAYS OPEN THE ACTION AND MAKE CERTAIN YOUR RIFLE IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN DISASSEMBLING YOUR RIFLE TO PREVENT SPRINGS, SPRING-LOADED PARTS, SOLVENTS, OR OTHER AGENTS FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN INJURY.

DISASSEMBLY

1. Lower the lever to the fully forward position. Verify the chamber and feed mechanism do not contain any ammunition.

2. Place the rifle with the left side up on a soft, padded surface.

3. Remove the receiver screw located on the left side of the receiver using a #8 slotted screwdriver (Figure 19).

4. Separate the rifle by pivoting the buttstock down and away from the receiver (Figure 20).

5. Remove the bolt by sliding it from the rear of the receiver.

If you are storing your rifle, the bolt can be secured in the receiver. Hold the receiver upside down and slide the bolt fully forward in the receiver and push down on the bolt lock (Figure 21). The bolt is easily released by pressing down on the rear of the bolt lock.

NOTICE: SOME CLEANING SOLVENTS, LUBRICANTS, AND OTHER STRONG CHEMICALS SUCH AS THOSE FOUND IN DEET-CONTAINING INSECT REPELLENTS, SUNSCREENS, ETC. MAY DAMAGE THE FINISHES OF YOUR FIREARM. USE CARE TO PREVENT CHEMICALS FROM MAKING CONTACT WITH FINISHES WHEN CLEANING THE BORE AND ACTION OF YOUR FIREARM. 

CLEANING PROCEDURES

Your Ranger will function better and more reliably over a longer period of time if it is properly maintained and kept clean. Clean your firearm after each day of shooting and more often if it becomes excessively dirty. A minimum cleaning includes wiping down the action and oiling key parts. Regular maintenance will also include cleaning the barrel. 

If you encounter a function problem be sure to give your firearm a thorough cleaning to see if it solves the problem before seeking the services of a Winchester Repeating Arms Authorized Repair Center or our Service Facility in Arnold, Missouri, or a qualified gunsmith. 

1. Disassemble the rifle as explained above.

2. Clean the bore from the chamber end using an appropriate rifle cleaning rod with a slotted tip or jag and a patch of the correct caliber to provide a snug fit in the bore. Insert the rod and patch into the barrel at the chamber end and run it back and forth several times. Care should be exercised to ensure that neither the cleaning rod nor the handle strikes the crown of the muzzle, as damage to this area can adversely affect the accuracy of the rifle.

3. Inspect the chamber and bore for powder fouling. A normal amount of powder residue can be expected and is not serious. It can usually be removed with a patch saturated with nitro solvent. If, or when, fouling should become heavy, it can be removed with a brass bore brush. Dip or spray the brush with nitro solvent and scrub the chamber and bore until the fouling is removed. To prevent brass bristles from breaking off, the brush should be pushed completely through the barrel before being withdrawn.

4. After all fouling has been removed, the chamber and bore should be wiped dry. When the bore is dry, pass a lightly oiled patch through it for preservation. A fine, light gun oil is recommended.

5. Inspect the barrel and chamber to be certain no patches have inadvertently been left in them. Remove any that remain.

6. The interior of the receiver, bolt, and other parts of the action should periodically be wiped with a soft brush or clean rag. Any dried oil in these areas or on the magazine follower should be removed. Follow this cleaning by applying a light film of gun oil to the affected parts.

7. Lightly oil your firearm at the points described under the “Initial Cleaning and Oiling" section. Ordinary good judgment will, of course, indicate that the metal of the gun should receive a light film of oil any time the rifle has been exposed to weather or handling. Remember, the polished, finely fitted surfaces of the receiver and action mechanisms must always have a thin film of oil. Make sure that the surfaces of the breech block, lever components, and feed mechanism parts are especially clean and lightly oiled with a high-quality gun oil.

NOTICE: DO NOT POUR LARGE QUANTITIES OF OIL INTO THE RECEIVER OR OTHER PARTS. IT CAN DRAIN DOWN TO THE WOOD AND SOFTEN IT, CAUSING PERMANENT DAMAGE AND LOOSENING OF THE STOCK.

8. Assemble your rifle as above.

9. Wipe all exposed metal surfaces of the receiver and barrel with a clean rag. Finger marks should be removed because they provide a place where moisture can accumulate. Any dried oil on the receiver area should also be removed.

10. The wood surfaces of your rifle can also be wiped lightly with fine oil, or you can apply a quality wood or furniture polish to the stock and forearm. Using one of these methods (not both), will enhance the beauty and durability of your rifle.

ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS

• When transporting your rifle, store it in a quality protective case to prevent scratches and dents. Store your rifle in a cool, dry place to prevent corrosion. Store your rifle and ammunition separately, away from children.
• After heavy use, your firearm should be taken to a qualified gunsmith to have the action disassembled for professional cleaning and lubrication.
