I like the montecarlo myself

This style fits my build better. I do have two winchester that don't have the montecarlo style cheek rest and they don't hurt my face because I don't weld my cheek to it when shooting from the bench. The style of the pistol grip and the comb of the rifle have a lot to do with how recoil is applied rearward. If you have one that hurts you, get a new recoil pad like the Simms Vibration one and also try not to weld the cheek to the stock.
