gregor187 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Looking at the locking plate for the left or right markings. My question is , Should you set locking plate up for right hand if it is a right hand gun or if you want it to shoot to right cast? If the answer is set up for right hand gun my second question is How DO you set it up for left or right cast? Are those shims included?

tucker301 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Most right-handed shooters use cast off. Most lefties use cast on. When Benelli refers to LH plate arrangements, they are saying that the gun is to be set up for cast on, or for LH shooters. The locking plate center hole is actually drilled off-center. Depending upon which way it is flipped, the stock will either deviate right or left from centerline. This is explained in the manuals.

sepp Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm dealing with this same issue tonight with my SBE II right hand model. I want a neutral cast so I'm gonna have to email or call Benelli to see if I have a choice of setting it up that way. Otherwise, I would set up the lockplate to correspond with either right (DX) or left (SX) hand per the owner's manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 If you want neutral cast, you would need to take the existing drop plate to a machinist and ask him to either fill the existing hole and drill a new one in the center or fabricate a new one with the hole in the center.
