.243 or 7mm

Hey guys first post here, from Australia and just wanted your opinion on what calibre to get, I've been trying to decide for weeks but can't. I'm a field hunter mainly, shooting medium pigs, dogs, deer, hoppy things , and any other pests. Another reason I wanted to ask is because I'm only a small bloke, 65kg's (no fat at all) so I don't want to much recoil, that's why I'm leaning towards the .243. I got talked out of .270 simply because of ammo options and that it has more recoil than the .308, so thought I'd ask about the 7mm, is the recoil severe? Is there many ammo options? I made my mind up on my new rifle, it will be a Remington Model 700 SPS Stainless with a Leupold VX-1 4-12x40 scope, so it will be a light rifle, another reason recoil is an issue.

Cheers for any replies
