Sounds like your trying to decide between a .30-30 lever action (Winchester, or Marlin would be great options) or a .243 bolt gun.
Id go with a .243 bolt gun, CZ would be my humble preference; it will out-shoot any lever .30-30 I can think of.
.243 is flatter shooting, more forgiving on longer shoots.
Cant go wrong with something like this:
