Quoted: Man, everybody seems to percieve recoil differently. I think my M1 Garand and my PSL shoot about the same, with an 'average' amount of recoil. My FAL has slightly less. My 7.62 AKs kick harder than my 5.45 AK and my 5.56 AR. My M44 Mosin Nagant and M24/47 8mm Mauser both kick far harder than any of the previously listed guns and more than my 16 and 20 gauge shotguns.

This is very true.
My 8mm FN49 has a good firm push, and will leave a bruise if you shoot it enough or with one shot if you let it "travel" But I don't even notice the recoil now when I shoot it.
The PSL, if you think about the numbers, weight of the rifle, projectile, etc, should be real close to the FN or M1. It just feels
different to me, balance, geometry, that butt plate which was not intended for use with thin cotton shirts in mind, ect.
I made a new butt stock for mine. I used my sar-2 as a template to make a new thumb hole stock, only about a inch longer than the sar with a larger rubber butt plate (no pad). The rifle now feels totally different, better in my opinion, but some one else may not like it. Its all subjective.
