Get a .375, hit with a lot more power than the 30-30, and nothing wrong with a 30-30. I love the .375, great penetration. I have used it on wild pigs here in Georgia. Hard on pigs, easy on the shoulder.
I have a friend with a bad shoulder, and he has become very recoil sensitive. He loves his .223. I finally got him to shoot my .375 and he loved it. No real use to him, as he doesn't hunt anymore, but his comment was that it felt like a 30-30. Did for me too. I am sure it does recoild a little harder than the 30-30, but the difference was not that great too me.
