Taylor -
The Savage was not mine, but belonged to a friend. To be honest, I'm not sure how similar the two are in shape. I'll compare the two next time I have an opportunity.
My shooting position may be part of the problem. For the first few shots, I was seated at a bench, as opposed to a standing position, and those seemed to kick the most. I tried a few in a standing position and they seemed to be a little more manageable, but by then my shoulder was already hurting.
I'll check out the recoil pads.
