Are you in love with either rifle? You mentioned going to Cabelas they have Savage rifle and scope combos for around $400 in calibers that are more suited to long range shooting such as 270 30-06 308. Otherwise sell the rifle you don't like and get a scope I have had great luck with Nikon and Leuopold.
I also hunt with a 30/30 alot with peep sight so I am not against your 30/30. its just not a 400 yard gun unless you are a world class marksman. I am confident with mine to 100yds with my peep sights and have successfully killed whitetails at that range.
