In identical rifles, with identical weight bullets at identical velocities -- they would be the same, more or less. IOW, if you loaded 120 gr bullets to 2900 fps in three 7-lb Remington mountain rifles, you would not be able to tell the difference.

On the other hand, if you loaded 100 gr bullets at 3100 fps in the Roberts and 140 gr bullets to 2800 fps in the 7mm-08 -- the 7mm would kick noticeably more.

It's all physics...
