Something I have found is that if the LOP feels too short standing, it will be far to short in the prone.
I was shooting an old .303 on the weekend and had to put the butt on my shoulder when in the prone.
The .303 isn't a heavy recoiling rifle but recoil always feels worse when the rifle has a "run up".
As others have said slip on recoil pad can help.
I always recommend new shooters try as many rifles as possible before spending a penny.
Do you have friends that shoot? Maybe you could go try a club or the NZDA.
