To extend the Stock, grasp the release lever located on the bottom side of the stock. Squeezing the
lever releases the lock and allows the stock to slide freely to the desired position. The lock will au-
tomatically engage at each position.(Fig. A)
Note: Prior to shooting, always verify that stock is properly locked in the
selected position.
To remove Axiom Buttpad, insert small diameter Phillips screwdriver (#1) into the holes located in
rubber buttpad. Remove both the buttpad and adapter plate.(Fig. B)
Note: Removing buttpad will reduce minimal length of pull.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BLACKHAWK! STOCK
This BLACKHAWK! stock should only be used with the specific rifle for which it was designed. Be-
fore installing the new stock, be sure that the gun is unloaded and follow the assembly instruc-
tions provided with this product. Check all functions of the gun after the stock is installed. If you do
not feel competent to check the proper function yourself, have a gunsmith check this for you. Be-
fore using the stock in the field, it is important to test-fire the gun after installation to be certain it
functions properly.
All firearms are potentially dangerous; their improper use may cause great harm, personal injury
or death. It is your responsibility to know the safe use, procedures and operation of your firearm,
and to store, handle, and transport your firearm safely. Proper training is available through ac-
credited firearms safety training programs.

Shooting Tips & Techniques
Page 7
IMPORTANT NOTICE: During recoil, the Rifle moves rearward over the pistol grip by slightly more
than one inch.
It is not necessary to pull the stock tightly into your shoulder. Instead, take a firm but not too tight
a hold of the pistol grip and set the butt solidly into the pocket of your shoulder. This will allow the
recoil reduction mechanisms to function most effectively. Do not pre-compress the stock. In addi-
tion, start out shooting the stock longer than you think necessary and gradually shorten the stock
until you find the correct length setting.
WARNING: Due to the inherent “travel” of the firearm during recoil, a scope without proper
eye relief will come back and hit you! As with any rifle, be sure to allow liberal eye relief to prevent
an injury and do not let anyone shoot your firearm without checking for proper eye clearance. (See
image below)
NOTE: When using BLACKHAWK! Stocks in conjunction with bipod accessories, it is advisable to
keep the weak hand back at least an inch from the rear of the bipod mount. This precaution will
avoid the possibility of recoil impact on the fore part of the weak hand. (See image below)
RIGHT: Maintain at least 1" space between
cheek and flare in stock. Maintain a comfort-
able cheek weld, avoid mashing or pushing
face down into stock. Keep head more upright
and relaxed. WRONG: No space between cheek and flare
will result in shooter discomfort or cheek-slap.
