The marlin vs win is a timeless campfire argument. You really just need to pick the one you like better.

As for the 30-30 for hd. It will work. I think speer makes 125gr jhp that hold together at 2500fps. For hunting I typically prefer 170gr RN but for hd the lighter jhp are probably better. Barnes makes a nasty 150gr hp. Here's a pic of the bullet

Low capacity and as slow to reload as a shotgun, I would rather use a shotgun. Both being fairly equal, the shotgun will stop a fight faster.

And shotguns are faster. They've got big ole shells going in big ole holes. Plus much more rugged. Lever guns aren't great for hard combat use.

A good shotgun with slugs can do the lever gun's job for most scenarios. There aren't many levers that can shoot buck, though.

Truth be told, shotgun, lever, or otherwise, there are a ton of tools that can handle the task. There are also some designs with a great deal of advantages. You never know when an edge will be needed.

If one is going to place limitations on themselves and their situation, this ^ is far more sensible than a lever action.

Also, .30-30 a "thumper". I'm no recoil junky, but I got a chuckle out of that.
