I own and have hunter both, performance is comparable in the short/med ranges. Longer range nod goes to the 7 as stated above. I was shooting mine the other day, both Model 70s in Brown Prec. stocks with the 7 weighing just 5oz more, with 130s in the 270 and 160s in the 7mm, I could not notice much difference in recoil. So...pick the one that fits the best and the action he likes the function of most!
