I agreee with the well written posts by Jakearoo and TheHack. I'm confused by some of the terms used above: What is meant by "up pitch"? Is that the same as negative pitch? My understanding has been that pitch, or positive pitch, means that the muzzle is away from the wall, with the butt flat on the floor and negative pitch would be the muzzle touches the wall and the breech is away from it, again with the butt flat on the floor. Based on thinking of the butt as the pivot point, having less(down/positive) pitch would make the recoil against the face seem less, while having a lot of pitch(down or positive) would make the comb rise up into the cheek more.
