I think it just doesn’t fit me well
That is probably it, though they are also a very light rifle, which makes a difference.
FWIW though I have one in .30/06, and I find it very easy to get on with - kicks a lot less than another .30/06 I own, despite that other rifle being heavier. About the most accurate rifle I own too, which is nice, and I've killed a truckload of deer, pigs, goats and other stuff with it. .
