Question: A friend gives you a scoped bolt rifle to check. The scope blocks direct view down the bore. For PROVE step 5, what is the correct procedure?

Answer options: ✅ Open the bolt and inspect the bore from the chamber end; remove scope if necessary to permit safe inspection (PROVE step 5).

  • Assume the bore is clear because you cannot see through the scope (unsafe).
  • Rotate the rifle to try to see through the scope with a flashlight at the muzzle only (insufficient).
  • Tap the muzzle gently to dislodge any possible blockage (unsafe).

Correct answer: Open the bolt and inspect the bore from the chamber end; remove scope if necessary to permit safe inspection (PROVE step 5).

Explanation: Correct: PROVE step 5 is to examine the bore. If optics block view, open the bolt and inspect from the chamber end; if necessary remove the scope to ensure a safe, clear inspection (CFSC Student Handbook — PROVE Procedure).
