Here's a newbie comment for you. I wouldn't know how to begin to ascertain what is a good fit, and it sounds like that has more to do with recoil discomfort than with most caliber sizes! I have shims for my shotgun and don't even know if they're needed!Well, my experience would bear that out. I'm a 6' guy with long enough arms that I don't enjoy straight stocks or short stocks. The angle of the stock from receiver to shoulder seems to make a difference too. But I couldn't tell you what angle is best for me. I also like a Monte Carlo comb to rest my cheek on... seems to stabilize things and reduces pain in my cheek.
My tactical shotgun has a recoil reducing stock that works very well. It moves with the recoil and soaks it up much like some of the old Remington/Browning autos did. There are a few recoil stock accessories but I've never seen one that moves like that. Could be good for enabling 30-06 or better. I'm still looking at getting my brake put on the .308, not that I need it, just want some comfort for more target shooting.
