RE: How much recoil does a 7mm have?
as Greg said, it will be noticably more than the 30-30 in recoil and sound. A 7MM Rem mag is not that bad though. The stock style, action type and weight of the gun as well as the loads you are using will have a lots of effect on felt recoil. I have a light weight .308 that to me recoils more than my 7MM!
