MANUAL P 15
4.6 | ADJUSTABLE STOCK
CHEEK RISER (COMB) HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
Using the thumb screw initially located on the right side of the rie the user can adjust
the cheek riser to the correct position for their needs (FIGU R E 4.6.1).
1. Turn thumb screw left to loosen.
2. Set cheek riser at desired height by manually moving it up or down.
3. Turn thumb screw right to tighten, xing the cheek riser in the set position.
Note: Grooves in either post facilitate use of an e-clip so that the desired height
can be set when removing the cheek riser to remove the bolt.
CHEEK RISER OFF BORE AXIS ADJUSTMENT:
1. Tighten down the thumb screw to lock riser posts in place.
2. Loosen two torx plus fasteners at the top of the cheek piece (FIGURE 4.6.2).
3. Set desired angle and tighten both fasteners. Be careful not to over tighten.
Note: Two Torx Plus
®
fasteners attach the clamp assembly to the stock.
Left handed shooters can remove both screws to reverse the assembly and
place thumb screw on the left side if desired. Fastener location is biased in
the separate clamp so that it can only be installed in the correct orientation.
BUTTPAD ADJUSTMENT:
The buttpad and spacers of Daniel Defense Bolt Action Rie stocks are designed to
allow the buttpad and spacer assembly to move vertically up to 1 inch. Provisions in
the stock prevent the buttpad assembly from moving too high and losing contact
with the bottom fastener.
1. Loosen the two Torx Plus
®
fasteners 2 turns at a time and adjust buttpad to desired
height.
2. To add the spacers, loosen the buttpad about ½” more than the desired spacer
width and install spacers from the top making sure the two tabs on the buttpad
interface with the tab recesses in the spacer.
3. Tighten down the two fasteners in 2 turn increments. The incremental turning
prevents any possibility of the buttpad rubber separating from the substrate.
Note: All Torx Plus
®
fasteners are the same drive and a wrench is included
with each rie.
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR EAR
PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING, ESPECIALLY ON A RANGE. WITHOUT EAR
PROTECTION, THE NOISE FROM YOUR FIREARM AND OTHER FIREARMS
CLOSE TO YOU COULD LEAVE A “RINGING” IN YOUR EARS FOR SOME TIME
AFTER FIRING, WHILE THE CUMULATIVE LONG-TERM EFFECT COULD BE
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS.
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR PROTECTIVE
SHOOTING GLASSES. FLYING PARTICLES COULD DAMAGE EYES AND
CAUSE BLINDNESS; PROTECTIVE SHOOTING GLASSES SHOULD
PREVENT SUCH INJURY.
WARNING: READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN SECTION 3. KEEP YOUR
FIREARM POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER
AND KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE EJECTION PORT.
1. Load the rearm as previously described.
2. Grasp rearm with one hand on forearm and other hand on pistol grip
with index nger resting along outside of trigger guard. Raise rearm and
pull buttstock rmly into shoulder; adjust buttstock as necessary.
(Alternatively, sit or lie prone, with the handguard supported by a rest,
and pull buttstock rmly into shoulder with ring hand).
3. Aim by aligning target with reticle of rie scope.
4. Move safety to FIRE.
5. Keeping steady aim, place index nger on trigger and squeeze straight
back until trigger releases the striker. Don’t jerk the trigger as you will disturb
your aim and degrade your accuracy.
6. To re the second and subsequent rounds, grasp bolt handle and rotate
the bolt up.
7. Retract bolt all the way to the rear, ejecting the empty cartridge case.
8. Push bolt forward, stripping next round from the magazine, until the bolt stops.
9. Rotate the bolt handle back down, locking the bolt in place.
10. The rie can now be red again. Repeat this process, as necessary or until the
magazine is empty.
11. Release trigger, remove nger from trigger, and set safety to “SAFE.”
