ACCESSORIES AND ADJUSTMENTS
Drop change
(wood stock and Progressive Comfort stock)
Before beginning any operation on your rifle,
always make sure that chamber and magazine
have been completely emptied!
(Carefully read loading and unloading instruc-
tions).
The rifle is supplied with a “drop change kit” (fig.
66A wood stock - fig. 66B Progressive Comfort
stock - fig. 67 synthetic stock) which enables you
to adjust the original drop the rifle is supplied
with. The kit consists of stock locking plates (in
steel) and drop change shims (in plastic).
The kit enables you to obtain different drop pat-
terns (as specified in the table) and two different
deflections (right hand or left hand).
Each unit is marked with the corresponding drop
and cast letter.
Determine if your stock drop fits you perfectly, or
whether it is either too high or too low for you.
If it is too low, you need to select the previous
adjustment set in alphabetical order (e.g. if the
shim supplied on the rifle is marked with a “C”,
you must select the “B”, together with the corres-
ponding stock locking plate).
Proceed as follows to change shims:
Wood stock (fig. 68)
Progressive Comfort stock (fig. 69)
1) Unscrew the two fixing screws and remove
the butt plate “1” (using a cross-head screw-
driver).
WARNING: to avoid damaging the butt plates,
apply a light coat of vaseline or grease to the
shaft of the screwdriver.
2) (Progressive Comfort stock only) unscrew the
two fixing screws using a Phillips screw-
driver and remove the comfort kit “2” from
the stock.

3) Unscrew the stock retaining nut “3” (using a
13 mm hexagon wrench).
4) Remove the nut “3”, from the recoil spring
tube and remove the rubber washer “4”,
stock locking plate “5”, stock “6”, cast shim
“7” and drop shim “8”.
WARNING: (Progressive Comfort stock only) if
the stock spacer “9” doesn't remain inside the
stock, reassemble it with the seat of plate “5”
facing the butt plate.
Matching instructions: the drop change shims and
stock locking plates in the kit are identified by letters.
To ensure a correct drop, always use plates and shims
with the same letter, e.g.: C - CDX – for a 60-RH drop
or C - CSX – for a 60-LH drop.
DX = Right hand
SX = Left hand
