the 7 mag hurts on the shooting bench after about 25 rounds the 06 starts hurting after 40. Either one I can shoot all day standing up. That bench shooting is not a good test of recoil. Like someone said if I'm hunting I feel no recoil at all.

I've had 2 7 rem mags and 2 30-06's. I like em both. But then again I like all my guns.
By the way recoil is something you can used too, to a degree that is.
