6. Right-handed shooters may desire some cast off, with

left-handed shooters preferring some cast on. The

terminology is the same for right- or left-handed

shooters. The net effect is to move the cheek piece to

allow the face to move farther over the stock for better

eye-to-rib alignment.

7. When properly set, the front and rear sight beads

should line up perfectly each time you shoulder

your shotgun.

8. Tighten the stock adjustment stud screws. Be careful

not to over tighten.

9. Replace the cheek piece onto the studs. If drop at

comb has already been set to your desired height,

tighten the two stock adjustment set screws securely. If

drop has not been set, leave the set screws loose and

proceed to “Adjusting Drop at Comb.”

Adjusting the drop at the comb allows you to align your

eye perfectly with the plane of the rib.

The drop measurement is determined by measuring the

distance between the plane formed by the top of the rib

and the top of the cheek piece itself. The higher the cheek

piece, the lower the drop. To set drop, perform the following:

IN THE CHAMBERS AND THE SAFETY IS IN THE
“ON SAFE” POSITION.

1. Loosen the two stock adjustment set screws on the

right side of the cheek piece (if they were not left

loose after setting the cast) using a 3mm hex (Allen)

wrench. The cheek piece will now move freely, up and

down on the stock adjustment studs.

2. Position the cheek piece on the studs at the desired

drop — up or down on the stock. Make sure the

adjustment on each stud is equal up and down. When

you have determined a possible setting, lightly tighten

the stock adjustment screws and then shoulder the

firearm to test the setting. Drop adjustments are a

matter of trial and error. Adjust a little at a time

until you obtain the desired sight picture on the rib.

3. Once your desired drop at comb is obtained, secure the

cheek piece in place by tightening the two stock

adjustment set screws on the right side of the cheek

piece. Drop is now set on your shotgun.
