The 7.62 X 54R is ballistically similar to .308 Win I believe. The rifle is very light, so recoil and kick is very noticeable, especially since the butt is small and narrow, compared to an M14.

Sounds like the rifle is over gassed and would benefit from a more adjustable gas system than the "Normal" and "Fouled" settings.
I had a Saiga that was dreadfully over gassed. The WASR that replaced it had a much milder recoil impulse and the bolt carrier did not slam back as hard.
