I just wanted to update this post. I went to the range today, and took all advice given here. The issue was definitely when shooting on the bench. I was bringing the butt to close to the chest and above, and hurting just below my collar bone. I brought my rifle off hand and then sat down on that position. Felt comfortable, natural, and no pain at all. Very soft recoil. I shot mostly at 60 yards, and was able to keep my shots off hand on an 4 inch radius, big personal improvement, and zero pain, just pure joy. Those "expensive" .270 win were worth every penny.
Thanks a lot for the tips!!!
