Different gun = different stock = different fit. In this case the new stock fits you so poorly that you're taking a beating. I suspect your new gun has more drop than the old one. You might try building up some padding on the stock. Stick on mole skin (used for fitting shoes) works well. An old trick that may give you some temporary relief is to use a liberal application of a talc stick (electric razor pre-shave) on your cheek while shooting. You never thought you'd be going to the pharmacy for shooting stuff.
