ALL other things being equal (caliber, type of action, etc) a lighter rifle will have more recoil (kick) than a heavier one. It is a matter of action and reaction.
I have a heavy (11 lbs) benchrest target rifle in .308- it is a pleasure to shoot. I have another .308- a lightweight hunting rifle (6lbs). With the same cartridge, it will put tears in your eyes!

Why does heavy rifle not kick as strong as light rifle using same bullet?
Equal and opposite reaction. With a heavier firearm, recoil is trying to overcome the greater inertia of a heavier mass.

Why does a heavy rifle not kick as strong as light rifle using a same bullet?
Recoil is the reaction of speed x mass of the bullet, producing recoil (reaction) consisting of speed (of the rifle moving) x mass (of the rifle). If one rifle has a greater mass than another, the recoil is trying to move the larger mass, and cannot move it as fast. This is why you can hit a golf ball much further than you can hit a bowling ball. Difference in mass.
Does a 50 caliber rifle have kick?

It depends on the comparative charges of the ammunition. A rifle can have more recoil than a shotgun.
What kind of force is the backward kick of a rifle after its been shot?
This will vary depending on the cartridge fired, and the weight of the rifle. With a heavy target rifle in caliber 22 LR, it will be barely noticeable. With a light hunting rifle in 30-06 caliber, it can be enough force to be painful. With VERY powerful cartridges, such as the .577 T-Rex, recoil may be enough to knock you down. Recoil is the REACTION to the ACTION of accelerating a bullet down the barrel. The weight and speed of the bullet generate the recoil (heavier, faster bullets = more recoil) , modified by the weight of the rifle- heavier= less recoil.

Do 30-30's kick bad. I am looking up a good rifle with not a lot of kick?
No, .30-30s do not have a lot of kick, however, recoil (kick) being "bad" or not is largely a personal issue. For some folks, even the diminutive .223 has a lot of recoil, while others have no problem with the recoil from a .378. It also depends on the design of the rifle.
What kind of kick does the 270 rifle have?
A mule kicks, a rifle recoils. Recoil perception differs among people. It is generally considered mild.
Can you fire a rifle from a vise?
Yes, but without preparation it may not be a good idea. Vise must be padded to prevent harming the rifle, and enough recoil can break the rifle, or kick it out of the vise.
Does a 223 rifle kick more than a 243?
It might, given the right circumstances.
