After seeing the refined, near-production ready version of the Xylo in the video, I’m regretting my decision not to get in at the pre-order price last year. It looks very comfy with a lot of nice features.
One suggestion (which may already be on the chassis since I can’t see it in the video) is to incorporate height reference marks for the cheek rest height similar to what AI does on the AX buttstock. An engraved arrow and a few numbers and hash marks on the cheek rest rack and chassis makes it very easy to get the cheekrest back to the previous location after lowering it to clean the barrel or if you let someone else shoot it and they adjust the cheekrest.
Sure you can accomplish the same thing with a silver sharpie or a couple of pieces of tape, but engraving an arrow and numbers/hash marks looks more polished IMO.
(Cue Ted to complain about feature creep bloating the design, increasing costs, and delaying the schedule… I know the feeling because I deal with it daily, LOL)
Looking forward to handling one at some point in the future.
