Default rifle fit ?

The importance of rifle fit comes up often in "What rifle or caliber should I get" threads. But there isn't much info on what good rifle fit is.

The questions are:

- For a person new to rifles, what are signs that one rifle fits better than another?

- How are we to know (other than by trial and error) that one model of 7mmRM will have less felt recoil than another model or make that weighs the same?

- How do we find out which rifle stock provides a reliable cheek weld once a scope is mounted on the gun, given that of course gunshops don't allow scopes to be test mounted on display rifles?

Any other tips appreciated.
