I bought the 7GNR and a 257 Raptor in the same year. I thought my daughter would like the 257. However, she's shoots the 7mm gun with no issues since she was 13. I know that recoil is subjective, but we've found it to be an easy shooter and highly effective. At 16 now, she isn't hunting with me much but still shoots with me. She can hit 2 liter and gallon jugs at 100 to 150 yards with no issue. It's easy to load for, too. I have a 12" 7GNR and a 10". I have never shot the 10, as the 12 has never give me a reason to switch up.
I'll also say that I think the 7mm Raptor is likely a darned fine shooter based on my experience with the 7TCU. On the 204 case. 100-150 yard shots will be a piece of cake.
