Slope
The theory of the slope is the rifle travels rearward and the stock drops away from your face. But I'm guessing with that much recoil the rifle's coming up a lot and whacking you, so all the slope is doing is giving it a running start?
Or maybe the cast is just no good for you. I bought a couple PD trade in Benelli M2's a few years ago and the beat my face badly. I'd owned others that didn't, so I was puzzled. Turned out the PD's armorer had them set up for left handed shooters. Probably didn't have any idea what they were doing with the shims.

- The downwards slope really helps with reducing the face - Rob Leahy, 2024-12-17, 11:11
