The .303 has a reputation as a "kicker" more becuase of the shape and size of the SMLE stock than the energy of the recoil. Its about felt recoil, not the actual energy. With a stock that fits the shooter properly its not that bad. Military stocks on the SMLE fit virtually everyone well enough to be used, but fit few people "properly".
Pattern 14 should be fine (if left as is). Have been shooting the Model of 1917 in 30-06 and its very tolerable with no but pad.
