Welcome,

If it was me, and even if I liked the idea of a .30-30, which I would get in a classic lever action instead, I would go straight for a 9.3x74R in a Chapuis double rifle instead.

Now with a 9.3x74R, you have a cartridge which can be used to hunt deer, pigs, black bear, brown bear, moose etc. Take your new DR to Alaska or Canada one day.

A 9.3x74R is a .366 calibre cartridge and shoots a 286 gr projectile at around 2200 fps (in my rifle). Also hs 230 gr and 320 gr projectiles from Woodleigh. Some DRs are regulated with 230 gr (approx) projectiles, which I think under powers the cartridge so go for 286 gr. And one if one handloads might find sweet loads in other bullets and weights which also regulate close enough.

Decide whether you want your DR regulated without a scope or with a scope. For the same reason.
