Look on ebay or Gunbroker. Find an old Weaver 2.5 power fixed. Make sure it's in reasonaly good shape. They run from about $65 up to about $165 or so. The scope was made for that 30-30. I have one and it works great. You don't need or want any more magnification. You can throw it up and fire fast at a moving target or take your time and shoot with precision easily out to 150 yards. Those scopes are iron horses. Have one I got used at a pawn shop in the 1980's. It is still clear as a bell. You won't find a better scope for that rifle.
