How to Load
Loading A Single Cartridge
Your rifle may be loaded with a single cartridge, provided the magazine is empty.
Open the bolt and put the safety on SAFE.
Place the cartridge, bullet end toward the
muzzle, directly into the chamber.
NOTE: Models 915YS and 915Y are single shot rifles and therefore have no
magazine.

How To Fire
With the rifle pointed at the target, move the
safety to the FIRE position and squeeze the
trigger. Open and close the bolt completely
for each repeat shot (except Models 915YS
and 915Y, which are single shot). If you
have not fired all cartridges at the target, be
sure to put the safety on SAFE until you are
ready to shoot again.
How to Unload
With the safety on SAFE, and the rifle
pointed in a safe direction, open the bolt
and eject the loaded cartridge from the
chamber.
Sighting
All models have receivers grooved for
telescope sight rings and scopes. Heavy
barrel varmint models do not have open
sights and require a scope. If you would
like to have open sights installed, see a
competent gunsmith.
Models with open sights were pre-sighted at the factory. However, due to individual sighting characteristics, minor
adjustments may be necessary.
Always ensure the rifle is pointed in a safe
direction. Put the rifle on SAFE and open
the bolt before making any sight changes.
tion of the rear sight in the desired direction. Retighten the screw and fire again.
Continue this process until your shots
are horizontally zeroed-in.

adjust the point of impact, loosen the
dovetail screw until you can move the

Scope Mounting
Your rifle has a grooved receiver
designed to handle tip-off-type 22 scope
bases. They are made by several manufacturers in various heights, to accommodate different objective diameters,
and are available through your local gun
dealer. You may also order directly from
Marlin Gun Service. Call 1-800-544-8892
for more information.
Open the bolt and remove the clip magazine (if your rifle is a clip-loader). Remove
the takedown screw on the underside of
the forearm, and the forward trigger guard
screw. Remove the barreled action from
the stock.
Apply a small amount of good quality gun
grease to the area shown in I.
Next, open the bolt and apply a small
amount of grease to the cocking cam, as
shown in J.
If the rifle continues to be fired extensively, repeat this lubrication about every
1,000 rounds or once a year.
NOTE: The safest possible way to store
this, or any other Marlin bolt action rifle,
is with the bolt removed and kept separately, under lock and key.
To replace the bolt assembly, align the tab
on the left forward portion of the bolt (see
H), with the corresponding groove in the
rear of receiver. With trigger pulled, insert
bolt into rear of receiver. Never force the
breech bolt into the receiver, as serious
damage may result. If you encounter difficulty, remove the bolt and re-check alignment. After cleaning, and before reinserting the bolt, ensure the barrel is clear.
