To the OP:
One of the basics in rifle shooting is to keep the rifle firm into your shoulder. Where you place the rifle stock is also critical. Are you placing it into the pocket of the shoulder?
Another factor in recoil control is a good cheek weld to the stock.
Finally, prhaps the very best thing you can do about recoil is to install and properly use a 2 piece leather military sling.

And here is an excellent instruction video concerning the use of the sling.
If you want to cut to the sling instruction itself, start at about 3:40.

I guarantee that the proper use of this sling to bring that rifle tight into the shoulder will almost completely eliminate your recoil problem.
