RE: 7mm Mag
Any of the 7mms are great guns, the .28 caliber is one the best rounds for penetration. The 7mm-08 is an amazing round. As far as the recoil on the 7 mag, i guess its all in the shooter i have never been bothered by mine. Ive even shot several rounds off the bench in a t-shirt. If you hold it tight it likes to push but not punch.
