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.
