ARC Xylo butt pad rotates.Cool, but I personally would like to see more companies offer a "rotating" recoil pad, like Accuracy International, so you can adjust the recoil pad to fit the human shoulder correctly without being forced to cant the rifle. This never made any sense to me.
The rifle doesn't mate up to the human body perfectly straight, which makes a person either have to choose to hold the rifle straight up and down, which is not normal or comfortable or cant the rifle but adjust their scope to offset for the amount of rifle cant. Neither are very desirable compared to simply adjusting the recoil pad to insure the rifle/scope are level.
Seems so obvious to offer this in a precision rifle, but AI is the only company to do so. This is one main reason I moved away from your company many years ago. Please take this as the constructive criticism it is intended to be and nothing else, I think MDT is a fine company with fine products created from customer feedback.
Didn’t know that. The matrix also has some adjustment, but it’s not quick and requires tools.
I actually called them about this possibility a couple months ago and was told at the time it was not something they were interested in.

I think I actually had one of these. I had no idea it adjusted that way.
Yep, it's something shotgun shooters have been using regularly for 40+ years. The rifle industry is ridiculously slow to react to shooting trends and "gun fit" is something that is still in its infancy in rifle shooting.Cool, but I personally would like to see more companies offer a "rotating" recoil pad, like Accuracy International, so you can adjust the recoil pad to fit the human shoulder correctly without being forced to cant the rifle.
