[R1 Drop Change]

I (also left-handed) use my R1 as it came out of the box and like it the way it is.

Just scored another kill with it today....make that two kills... almost forgot about the groundhog.

If the rifle sholders well and feels good leave it alone.

Thanks for the quick feedback! I'm already beginning to like this forum site. Is there any feedback with problems of using the stock scope base that came with the R1 and Weaver See-Thru rings on a Leupold scope? Also, any more update on why Benelli isn't providing the front and rear open sights as shown in the parts diagrams? What's the best way to get a set?

[R1 Drop Change]

I just recently purchased a new Benelli R1 30-06 and some of the terminology is unclear to me since I have never owned a rifle before. Always hunted shotgun and slugs. Could someone please explain to me what benefit occurs when you adjust drop change and what it is or does? What is wrong with just leaving the shims as is when purchased? I am left handed so if any change is made, what suggested arrangement with the various shims should be used? Thanks for the input.
