You have heard "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". Recoil of a gun is the reaction to the action of firing a bullet. In the case of a heavy firearm, there is more mass in which the energy is divided- itmoves more weight, with less speed. A lighter firearm, having less weight, moves faster, and gives more noticeable recoil.

Why does heavy rifle not kick as strong as light rifle using same bullet?
Equal and opposite reaction. With a heavier firearm, recoil is trying to overcome the greater inertia of a heavier mass.
Why does a heavy rifle not kick as strong as light rifle using a same bullet?
Recoil is the reaction of speed x mass of the bullet, producing recoil (reaction) consisting of speed (of the rifle moving) x mass (of the rifle). If one rifle has a greater mass than another, the recoil is trying to move the larger mass, and cannot move it as fast. This is why you can hit a golf ball much further than you can hit a bowling ball. Difference in mass.
