Don't have a 30-30 F, but I did have an F in 300 that hit me harder than I liked, went to a 300 in an R instead, the weight will reduce the recoil alot and I'm not taking it on any long hikes.

30-30 in an F can't kick any harder than a 303 Sav, they are basically the same, never had a problem with my F, welcome to the 99 owners. Good, handi little rifles. Les
My girlfriend owns a .250-3000 in a 99, long barrel, iron sights with the shot-counter (that's neat). What a hoot - my CZ .22 mag kicks about the same - and it makes you wonder if you fired a dud it's so quiet. Typical lever gun - it's addictive.

My 300EG kicks harder than my ruger 30-06.I wouldn't say it's like a mule though.It lets you know you shot one off but not really uncomfortable.
99's are addictive,I like pretty much any lever gun but man a 99 is something special.I got my first 99 about 2 yrs ago and now I'm up to 3.An 55 EG in .300
A (1918?) H in .22 HP and 50's F in 308.My next one will probally be a 250 3000 of some sort.

Out of all my 99's I'd have to say that the one I like to shoot the most is the 375 Win, I can shoot that one all day, very little recoil.
Although the 38-55, 32-40 and the 25-35 are all very mild cause they were black powder originally I don't let those ones see the outside of the safe.

MadDog, it ain't often I see a mistake from you. The .25-35 was developed alongside the .30-30 and was introduced as a smokeless cartridge. The parent case was black powder, true.
