There are more than rifle cartridge called "7mm" and they are not equal in power or equal in recoil. A 7 x 57mm Mauser will be moderate-recoiling, but a 7mm Remington Magnum will be in the heavy recoil category. And the weight (mass) of the rifle matters, too. With a heavy gun, the recoil will feel less to you, and it will be like a shove. A light weight gun fired with the exact same ammo in it might feel like a hard slap. Not as comfortable. Any 7mm hunting or military rifle should be OK for an adult man or woman of normal size to shoot at least a few rounds from without pain or bruising.
