You want a light rifle, that doesn’t hurt to shoot........
Think a medium sized case, not a long case or a magnum.
7mm-08, or .308.
Recoil pads help, but so does how high your scope sits above the bore, the affinity towards 50mm or even larger objective lenses on scopes have the scopes being far to high above the bore line. Get a scope that can be mounted as low as possible to the bore, which gets your head down on the stock which will keep your face from getting slapped under recoil.
And I’d also suggest you learn the difference between composite and Tupperware as far as stock materials go.
