There could be many reasons that your dad wants a 99 in 30-30. That he spelled it out for you should tell you something. I wouldn't try to convince him otherwise. Like others said before, he will probably appreciate any rifle from his son but would still long for his dream gun. Keep looking.
This is why I'm trying to convince him lol:

OK, I can see why you might want to save a few bucks and convince him that the .25 would be a good rifle. Your pops would probably be happy either way with a good looking rifle like that.
