A LOT has to do with Stock & Recoil Pad.
I <HAD> a Ruger 77 OG tanger in 338 WM....same thin red pad.....
WORST kicking rifle I've ever shot. It hurt every time I shot it.
My 8 RM actually did NOT hurt, shooting 5 grs less bullet 220 vs 225 PLUS more powder PLUS more vel.
That 'concrete' red pad is a FAUX recoil pad aka FAKE.
It went down the road so FAST that it kicked up dust. grin.
You are not ALONE
