I don't like recoil at all. When I had my light weight 9.3x62 built, I had to go back to basics on how to hold a rifle properly so it wouldn't 'bash' me.

My 9.3 recoils more than a Ruger 77 in .375H&H but I can now fire >20 rounds a session prone.

Concentrate on puling the rifle into your shoulder with the forward hand and make sure you are completely comfortable.
