A bolt action 30-30 is the worst of both worlds. Low range and low firepower. If you go bolt action it is hard to beat the .308 with much greater range and effectiveness.
I would lean toward the AR for reasons already mentioned. Don't sell your 30-30 lever short though. For your range it is pretty good, although slow to reload.
