I bought a norc as my first rifle and i don't find the recoil unpleasant at all. I shot some other .308 rifles and found them much worse. I think because the norc is heavy, which for the low recoil i appreciate.
I also followed the advice of buying a .22lr, a savage bolt mark 2f, for the cheap ammo. I put peep sights on that too so now i have the exact same sight picture and similar windage settings on both rifles. Bought them from tech-sights and they work great.
