The 7-08 will kick less, mainly because the bullet weighs less.

There isn't enough recoil difference to affect a follow up shot. I would never consider a follow up shot for hunting deer a criteria for a rifle.

Cartridge (Wb@MV) Rifle Weight Recoil energy Recoil velocity
.308 Win. (150 at 2800) - 7.5 - 15.8 - 11.7
.308 Win. (165 at 2700) - 7.5 - 18.1 - 12.5
7mm-08 Rem. (120 at 3000) - 7.5 - 12.1 - 10.2
7mm-08 Rem. (140 at 2860) - 8.0 - 12.6 - 10.1
