If you're shooting a sporterized military model, with its original wood cut down, I would buy a new stock for it. The new recoil pad, (and added weight depending on the model), can make all the difference in the world. Also, are you shooting the standard factory loads, like the Federal/Remington, 140 grain? If you're shooting the higher end Hornady light magnums, or hotter Norma's, they add considerably to the punch. I've got a 6.5, and it's the tamest rifle I own in its class. Heavy stock, weight of scope, etc... can all make the difference you're looking for. I wouldn't give up on it, it's a VERY accurate mid-range shooter, and I bet you can cure it for around $100.

The felt recoil of the 6.5x55 Swedish mauser on a 9 lb. rifle is around ten lbs. Compared to a .270 Winchester (130 grain bullet) the recoil is light as the .270 has about 16 n 1/2 lbs. of felt recoil.

I have a .250 Savage 99K, essentially the same caliber. It has always bitten my shoulder harder than any other gun I own. I always attributed it to the curve of the steel buttplate, which is also relatively narrow at top and bottom. The gun shoots so well for me that I use it anyway, and I don't want to modify it due to its value.. If I were to modify it, I think a good meaty rubber buttpad would solve the problem.

I've fired plenty and never really noticed a severe recoil, as the others have stated, invest in a limbsaver, or try shooting a lighter grained bullet.

A nice limbsaver recoil pad? The gun is probably just too light.

The 6.5x55 cartridge is a pussycat, but the military stock doesn't do you any favors. An aftermarket, drop-in stock will tame the beast.

You copied maximum of my innovations from some months in the past! yet you forgot to get a bag of skittles and throw it at somebody and say "style the rainbow!" and you forgot to declare "run down the asiles humming the 'challenge Impossbile' topic music." and you forgot to declare "get lugages and drowsing luggage, and pretend to camp." and you forgot to do yoga in the asiles.
