I believe rifles with less drop in their stock design have less felt recoil, I have a ruger precision rifle that has straight recoil...

Stock shape has a great deal with directing recoil. The heel of the stock is below the bore of the rifle, so that's why it recoils up.

I've had that happen with long (still in spec, won't close on a no go gauge) head spacing. Took me a long time to figure out the issue...
