"Take-Down" – Assembly<br />
PWarning! Before disassembling the<br />
Semprio rifle, make sure the rifle is<br />
completely unloaded.<br />
The Semprio is a rifle, which take-down<br />
easily disassembles for compact stowing<br />
and storage.<br />
8<br />
Following the instructions on page 16 of the<br />
manual, make sure the cocking device –<br />
located on the top tang where a conventional<br />
safety is usually located – is in the<br />
uncocked position.<br />
Turn the cocking device to the right until it<br />
reaches the 2 o’clock position, and lines up<br />
with the white arrow indicator.<br />
The rifle is now unlocked.<br />
With the cocking device in the 2 o’clock<br />
position, push slightly on the cocking device.<br />
This unlocks the action. Move the barrel<br />
assembly forward to open the rifle.
Slide the barrel assembly with forearm<br />
forward to its stopping position.<br />
The rifle is now completely open.<br />
Locate the release button located on the<br />
magazine housing on the rear right-hand side<br />
of the barrel.<br />
Slide the release button back toward you, as<br />
illustrated in the photo.<br />
At the same time, slide the barrel assembly<br />
forward until it completely separates from the<br />
frame portion of the rifle.<br />
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
"Take-Down" – Disassembly<br />
The two main components of the rifle are<br />
now separated and ready for stowing or<br />
storage.<br />

Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
"Take-Down" – Disassembly<br />
The cocking device, located on the top tang<br />
where a conventional safety would normally<br />
be found, must be turned to the right to the<br />
2 o’clock position before assembly begins.<br />
Push on the cocking device once to make<br />
certain that the locking bolt is unlocked and<br />
fully extended, otherwise the rifle parts wil<br />
not mate .<br />
10<br />
As shown in the photo, the barrel must be in<br />
straight alignment with the locking bolt and<br />
guide rod.<br />
Slide the barrel onto the locking bolt and<br />
guide rod as shown. Slide all the way until<br />
the two pieces are fully engaged and the rifle<br />
can be closed and securely locked.<br />
The barrel easily slides into place.<br />
Do not use excessive force!<br />
Proper alignment is essential. If you feel<br />
resistance, start over.<br />
Move the cocking device to the left until it<br />
reaches the 12 o’clock position - completing<br />
full engagement and lock-up.
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
"Take-Down" – "Click-and-Go" Sling Swivel<br />

Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Loading and unloading the rifle<br />
PATTENTION! Read and follow the<br />
safety instructions on pages 4-7<br />
before loading the firearm!<br />
When loading the magazine, be careful not to<br />
damage the upper magazine lips.<br />
To load the Semprio - For smaller Caliber Group 0,<br />
1, 2, or 3 ammunition (see also caliber group summary<br />
on page 27), insert up to four (4) cartridges<br />
in the magazine. For Caliber Group 4 ammunition,<br />
insert up to three (3) cartridges in the magazine.<br />
The top round of the magazine will always be<br />
chambered when the rifle is closed.<br />
However, a magazine loaded with three (3)<br />
cartridges or less can be inserted into the rifle<br />
without chambering a round upon closing.<br />
To close the rifle without chambering the top<br />
round, press down slightly on the top cartridge<br />
while slowly closing the rifle, allowing the locking<br />
12<br />
bolt to slide over the magazine without pushing a<br />
cartridge into the chamber.<br />
Open the rifle fully so that the magazine slot is<br />
completely free.<br />
CAUTION<br />
Note: If four cartridges are inserted into the<br />
magazine, you cannot prevent the top round<br />
from being chambered when closing the rifle.<br />
Insert the magazine into the magazine slot<br />
without canting the magazine. Apply slight<br />
pressure until the magazine is fully inserted<br />
and clicks into place.
The magazine can also be loaded through<br />
the ejection port while inserted into the rifle.<br />
Open the rifle and push the cartridges from<br />
the top of the ejection port down into the<br />
magazine.<br />
Closing the rifle pushes the top cartridge out<br />
of the magazine and into the chamber.<br />
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Loading and unloading the rifle<br />
If the magazine is loaded with three (3)<br />
cartridges or less, the top cartridge can be<br />
pushed down slightly while closing the rifle<br />
– allowing the locking bolt to slide over the<br />
top cartridge without pushing it into the<br />
chamber.<br />
13
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Loading and unloading the rifle<br />
If there is a cartridge in the chamber, a safety<br />
interlock prevents the action from opening.<br />
The action must therefore be opened manually<br />
to unload the gun.<br />
Do this by swinging the cocking device from<br />
the "uncocked" position (cocking device<br />
towards the back) toward the right, until the<br />
mark on the cocking device covers the right<br />
mark on the action housing. Lightly press the<br />
cocking device forward while simultaneously<br />
pulling the front of the gun forward.<br />
After shooting, pull the forearm forward to<br />
unlock the bolt head (spring-loaded travel in<br />
the forearm). When the forearm is pulled back<br />
further than the "play" distance, the bolt head<br />
releases and the action opens.<br />
14<br />
To unload the rifle, first open it fully.<br />
Follow the instructions on page 18.
The first cartridge will be extracted from the<br />
chamber and can be easily caught in your<br />
hand as illustrated above.<br />
Release the magazine containing any<br />
remaining cartridges by pulling the magazine<br />
release button back towards you as<br />
illustrated above.<br />
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Loading and unloading the rifle<br />
The magazine is easily removed by pulling it<br />

Krieghoff Combi-Cocking Device – Cocking, Uncocking, Opening the Rifle<br />
PATTENTION! Only cock the rifle when<br />
you are ready to shoot! ALWAYS point<br />
the rifle in a safe direction away from<br />
others and yourself to avoid serious<br />
injury or death. Never point the<br />
rifle at anything you do not intend<br />
to shoot or any hard surfaces such as<br />
rocks, concrete or water. Bullets can<br />
ricochet and cause serious injury or<br />
death.<br />
The Semprio does not have a conventional<br />
safety. The Semprio’s cocking device instead<br />
acts as the safety. You carry the rifle completely<br />
uncocked and manually cock it just<br />
prior to firing.<br />
The rifle is immediately ready to fire once the<br />
cocking device is in its cocked, firing position.<br />
16<br />
As illustrated in the photo, the cocking device<br />
is uncocked and in a SAFE position when<br />
moved to the rear position, where it protrudes<br />
approximately 1/2" behind the top tang.<br />
The cocking device controls all functions of<br />
the action mechanism with the exception of<br />
actual pulling of the trigger.<br />
To cock the rifle in preparation for immediate<br />
firing, push the cocking device all the way<br />
forward, until it engages with a slight “click”.
With the cocking device in the forward<br />
position and fully engaged, the rifle is ready<br />
to be fired. The cocking device remains in<br />
the forward cocked position throughout the<br />
repeating firing sequence, until manually<br />
moved to the rear, uncocked position.<br />
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Krieghoff Combi-Cocking Device – Cocking, Uncocking, Opening the Rifle<br />
To uncock the rifle, push forward on the lower<br />
part of the cocking device as shown.<br />
Release pressure, allowing the cocking device<br />
to slide to the rear, uncocked position.<br />
The striker is now disengaged, and in a safe<br />
position. In this position there is no possibility<br />
of an accidental discharge.<br />
The cocking device is shown in the uncocked<br />
rear position. The rifle is now uncocked and<br />
absolutely safe.<br />
17
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Krieghoff Combi-Cocking Device – Cocking, Uncocking, Opening the Rifle<br />
The cocking device, located on the top<br />
tang, opens the action for unloading or<br />
disassembling the rifle.<br />
After a shot has been fired, the Semprio´s<br />
action opens automatically.<br />
When the rifle is dry fired, the action may<br />
also open. This is no malfunction.<br />
18<br />
To open the action, make sure the cocking<br />
device is in the rear uncocked position.<br />
Turn it to the 2 o’clock position.<br />
With the cocking device in the 2 o'clock<br />
position, push slightly on the cocking device.<br />
This unlocks the action. Move the barrel<br />
assembly forward to open the rifle.
Finally, turn the cocking device to the left<br />
until it reaches the 12 o’clock uncocked<br />
resting position.<br />

Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Action "Safe-to-Carry" Position<br />
PATTENTION! When in hunting parties<br />
of more than one person, you should<br />
always unload and carry the Semprio<br />
in the “Safe-to-Carry” position until<br />
you are actually ready to take a shot.<br />
The “Safe-to-Carry” position of the Semprio<br />
allows you to carry the gun with a partially<br />
open action.<br />
This clearly signals to everyone in your<br />
hunting party that the rifle is unloaded.<br />
Although the action is slightly open the<br />
“Safe-to-Carry” design minimizes the chance<br />
of dirt penetrating the action.<br />
20<br />
After completely unloading the rifle, close the<br />
action to the red line as illustrated.<br />
Locate the locking slide on the left side of the<br />
action.<br />
Pull it rearwards as shown while<br />
simultaneously continuing to close the action<br />
until you feel the locking slide engage.
Check that the action is now partially open<br />
and locked in this position. To unlock the rifle<br />
in order to open it again, push the locking<br />
slide forward towards the muzzle. This<br />
unlocks it from the “Safe-to-Carry” position<br />
and the action can be freely opened again.<br />
The locking slide can also be operated as<br />
described above to lock the action completely<br />
open.<br />

Krieghoff Universal Trigger System – Set Trigger Function<br />
PWARNING! Make sure that the set<br />
trigger is NOT set prior to loading<br />
the firearm.<br />
NEVER engage the set trigger unless<br />
you are immediately ready to fire the<br />
rifle!<br />
Use the set trigger feature ONLY<br />
under very controlled circumstances<br />
such as shooting from a rest.<br />
The Krieghoff Universal Trigger System<br />
provides a clean, crisp trigger pull of<br />
approximately 1,250 grams (just under 3 lbs.)<br />
and an adjustable set trigger for controlled<br />
shooting from a rest.<br />
22<br />
Engage the set trigger only when intending<br />
to use it for an immediate shot by pushing<br />
the trigger finger forward as shown until it<br />
noticeably engages.<br />
The trigger is now set and will release at the<br />
slightest touch.<br />
If the opportunity to shoot passes, unset<br />
the set trigger IMMEDIATELY.<br />
First, hold the rifle in a safe direction<br />
uncock the rifle, operating the cocking device<br />
as previously described on pages 16-19.<br />
Gently support the trigger between the<br />
thumb and trigger finger as shown.
Pull the trigger back slightly until the set<br />
position noticeably disengages with a “click”.<br />
The set trigger operation should be practiced<br />
repeatedly with an unloaded rifle until you<br />
are confident with the procedure.<br />
PWarning! A set trigger will go off at<br />
the slightest touch!!<br />
Use the set trigger feature only under<br />
optimal and controlled conditions and<br />
only when shooting from a rest!<br />
Always point the rifle in a safe<br />
direction, away from yourself<br />
and others.<br />
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Krieghoff Universal Trigger System – Set Trigger Regulation<br />
The rifle must always be unloaded,<br />
uncocked and the set trigger NOT SET<br />
when making any set trigger adjustments.<br />
The set trigger travel and pull can be<br />
adjusted by using a small allen wrench to<br />
turn the set trigger adjustment screw<br />
located in the trigger area of the gun.<br />
PTo shorten the trigger pull and shorten<br />
the travel: turn the small adjustment<br />
screw slightly clockwise.<br />
PTo increase set trigger pull and travel:<br />
turn small regulating screw slightly<br />
counterclockwise.<br />
We recommend only a qualified gunsmith<br />
perform any and all set trigger adjustments.<br />
23
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Shooting and Repeating<br />
PAttention! Only cock the rifle just prior<br />
to firing! Always point the rifle in a<br />
safe direction!<br />
When you are prepared to fire at your target,<br />
cock the rifle by pushing the manual cocking<br />
device from the SAFE position forward to the<br />
cocked, safety off position.<br />
24<br />
Making sure the rifle is aimed in a safe<br />
direction and at your target, pull the trigger<br />
to fire the rifle.<br />
After shooting, the Semprio is unlocked and<br />
subsequently released by pulling forward on<br />
the forearm. After the rifle opens, the repeating<br />
sequence is completed by moving the barrel<br />
assembly forward and then pulling it back<br />
towards you to the closed position. In the<br />
unlikely event of a misfire, the action has to be<br />
opened manually. (Please refer to page 14).
During the forward movement, the fired<br />
(empty) cartridge is ejected through the<br />
ejection port.<br />
To complete the repeating sequence, cycle<br />
the forearm/barrel assembly firmly back<br />
towards you to lock the rifle again.<br />
During this movement, a new cartridge is fed<br />
from the magazine into the chamber.<br />
The gun is now re-cocked, firmly closed and<br />
locked.<br />
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Shooting and Repeating<br />
The rifle is immediately ready to fire again.<br />
25
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Changing the Barrel<br />
The Semprio features easily interchangeable<br />
barrels and allows barrels of different calibers<br />
to be interchanged.<br />
If barrels are changed within the same caliber<br />
group, no other parts require changing.<br />
If barrels are changed outside their caliber<br />
group, the magazine also has to be changed<br />
and possibly also the locking bolt head.<br />
Disassemble the rifle as described on pages<br />
9-10 before changing the barrels.<br />
26<br />
Loosen the two captive mounting screws on<br />
the forearm using the tool provided.<br />
NOTE: To avoid losing it, forearm holding<br />
screw is designed so that it cannot back all<br />
the way out.<br />
➚<br />
After the holding screw is loosened, separate<br />
the barrel from the wooden forearm and<br />
barrel bedding.
Line up the new barrel with the barrel<br />
bedding shown.<br />
Ensure that the receiver is correctly positioned<br />
for the mating piece on the box magazine.<br />
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Changing the Barrel<br />
Hand tighten the two mounting screws. After<br />
reassembly, the rifle is ready to use again.<br />
Assemble the rifle.<br />
Refer to page 8 for assembly.<br />
27
Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Changing the Locking Bolt Head<br />
PATTENTION! When installing a barrel<br />
outside the caliber group of the<br />
present barrel, the magazine and/or<br />
locking bolt head may also need to be<br />
changed.<br />
28<br />
First, disassemble the rifle into its main<br />
components as described on pages 9-10.<br />
Then, slide the locking bolt head to the side<br />
and off the holding post as shown. You will<br />
feel slight resistance before the locking bolt<br />
head comes free.<br />
Finally, completely remove the locking bolt<br />
head from the rifle.
Re-attach the new locking bolt head into the<br />
locking bolt head post in reverse order as<br />
shown.<br />
The locking bolt head seats firmly into place<br />
when inserted correctly.<br />
Each locking bolt head is clearly marked with<br />
one or more stars (*) for the caliber group it<br />
is intended for. Before inserting the locking<br />
bolt head, check to make sure it is marked<br />
for the caliber group you intend to use.<br />

Krieghoff Semprio In-Line Repeating Rifle<br />
Adjusting the Open Sight<br />
The Semprio comes standard with open<br />
sights installed. The open sight is easily<br />
adjusted with an allen wrench.<br />
Adjusting the middle sight corrects the<br />
horizontal point of impact (left picture).<br />
To adjust the horizontal point of impact, use<br />
an allen wrench to loosen the middle sight<br />
screw in a counterclockwise direction.<br />
Move the middle sight in the direction of<br />
the horizontal point of impact needs to be<br />
corrected. To correct shots hitting too far to<br />
the left, move the sight to the right and vice<br />
versa; then retighten. Repeat this procedure<br />
until the sight is adjusted to your satisfaction,<br />
then firmly tighten the middle sight screw.<br />

When the horizontal point of impact is<br />
adjusted to your satisfaction, firmly tighten<br />
the middle sight screw.<br />
Adjusting the front sight corrects the<br />
vertical point of impact (right picture).<br />
An adjustment for the vertical point of<br />
impact can be adjusted by turning the front<br />
sight screw in either a clockwise or counterclockwise<br />
direction as shown.
To raise the point of impact, turn the screw<br />
counterclockwise. To lower the point of<br />
impact, turn the screw clockwise.<br />
The front sight adjustment is such that each<br />
“click” adjusts the vertical point of impact<br />
approximately 1.5 cm (0.6”) at 50 meters<br />
(55 yds).<br />
General Comments<br />
When the rifle is closed, the forearm can be<br />
pulled back about 5 mm against a spring.<br />
When released, it slides back to the original<br />
position. This "play" is normal and is required<br />
to unlock the action after taking the shot.<br />
When the rifle is open a slight movement<br />
between the barrel forearm assembly and<br />
action can be felt. This is normal and required<br />
by design.<br />
When firing the rifle, be sure to keep your<br />
hand on the checkered part of the forearm<br />
barrel assembly to avoid injuring your hand<br />
during the movement.<br />

General Comments / Maintenance<br />
When inserting an under-loaded magazine<br />
into the rifle, close the rifle very slowly to<br />
avoid any injury.<br />
Maintenance<br />
In addition to routine gun cleaning and<br />
maintenance, the following should be<br />
observed:<br />
To maintain optimal operation of the in-line<br />
action mechanisms, the inside rails located<br />
on the rear of the barrel assembly should be<br />
lubricated with a thin layer of Teflon<br />
lubrication. Teflon based lubricants have<br />
excellent gliding characteristics.<br />

magazine and carefully remove the jammed<br />
cartridges.<br />
