Well, to do the job right, you would need to set the barrel back, but the 303 Savage and 30-30 Winchester are so very close dimensionally that it may have been rechambered just by running a 30-30 reamer into it. This would move the shoulder forward and give a longer neck as needed, but the chamber would be oversized and the base of the fired cartridges would be bulged. But if the original owner was not reloading, it is a moot point, so it's possible it was not set back.
