Can someone please try to equivocate for me the recoil on the XLRs and such? How would it compare to a Springfield 1903, 30-06? For 30/30, .35, and 444?

Thanks much!

I do not know and I don't think Marlin is making an XLR for the .35rem yet. Sorry I am not much help.

Haha, sorry. Watching World Cup soccer, tad distracted.

I meant how is the Marlin 336c .35 recoil, and 30/30 recoil as compared to a Springfield 1903?

I have never fired a 03 Springfield . But I do have a 06 in a 1965 vintage Remington 700BDL . I do not find an 06 to very heavy recoil wise with my 165 grain handloads and they are pretty warm . The 30-30 and 35 are less in my opinion . I have quite a few 30-30's , 32's and 35's . A good many of them use cast bullets exclusively , but even those that I shoot hot jacketed loads in the recoil is not bad ;)

I'm sitting here today with a massively black and blue shoulder because I shot 50 rounds of a load posted on Loadswap for a 280 grain cast bullet in my Winchester chambered in 444 Marlin. It was stout! I have a LimbSaver recoil pad on this rifle, but this load approached that of a howitzer. Thankfully, I was unable to get good accuracy because I hate to think that this was what I would have to live with. My "normal" loads are quite comfortable to shoot and with the LimbSaver, cause no discomfort at all. The 444 kicks a bit more than my old Ruger M77 30 06, but then I was shooting 168 spitzers out of the 06 and my 444 has been shooting 265s and up. I prefer the 444. Recoil is pretty much what you want, based on the loads you choose - from mild to wild.

Loads stock styles not withstanding, the 30-30 and 35 Remmy are close and my wife and daughter can shoot both. The 06 has noticabley more oompff. Not shot the 444 but would expect that with upper end loads that it'd compare to the 06.

It's not a direct comparison... because my guns are all different weights, have different stock profiles, and different recoil pads.... but:

Lightweight .35 Rem is creeping up to same recoil feeling as a full-sized .30-06.

Standard weight .444 Marlin, with 290 gr. bullets, feels like it is somewhere between my .30-06, and .338 Win Mag.

Living in Iowa a state that has always been a shotgun only state for deer. Until last January when they tried the first centerfire Doe culling season in the two southern most tiers of counties(along Missiuri border).
I had no reason to own a deer rifle and did all my hunting with a Mossberg 500 Turkey gun (Wt 7 lbs).
With a slug recoil calculates at 30 ft pounds.
I bought a 444 Marlin last week (7.5lbs)
Admitedly I had to do some guessing as to charge weight, but with Hornady 265 lt mag loads recoil calculates at 31 ft lbs of recoil.
I tried Remington 240 grain loads again I guessed on charge weight (27 ft lbs recoil) first and to be honest it never bruised me but my sholder was tender for a few days.
Wednesday I put a Simms Limbsaver on and it seems to be much better.

If anyone, has better data than my"Funny Numbers" feel free to correct me.

The 45-70 loaded hot with heavy bullets will far out kick any 444! But you can get your own answer from the Lee shooters program. They have a recoil caculater, a place to catalog your guns, store your pet load information and much more for around $13 from Midway.
