It is amazing how much less noise is generated by a 22" barrel and the extra pound or two in a full size rifle will help tame recoil somewhat also. I have a pickup gun in 243 and it has a 20" barrel on it and the noise it generates is pretty darned loud, and at one time I had a Rem 600 in 243 with a 16 & 1/2" barrel, it was just no fun to shoot mainly because it was so loud. The biggest concern I would have is the short barrel, in my opinion most flinching is induced by noise level, and a 16" 243 noise level can be brutal. The 243 would be a better choice for your proposed use, particuarily in a light gun because the lighter the rifle the more felt recoil, a 7/08 in a light gun has quite a bit of recoil.
