You already have a lever-action 30-30, right? Maybe it's time to appreciate the advantages of a decent bolt-action rifle. There are bargains to be had in the used gun racks at many gun-stores and virtually all pawn-shops. The most common calibers will be 30-'06 and 270 Winchester; both are excellent calibers. Avoid magnums because they offer little to be gained while sacrificing magazine capacity. Older post-64 Winchester model 70 rifles are under-rated bargains that are better than a Remington 700, in my view, though that is also a decent choice. I concur with the previous advice to put a Leupold scope on it. The 45-70 can wait for another time; I like the idea of one too, but I can live without it. If you were me, you'd forget about the AR-10, or any other semi-auto as well.
Having a good 30-30 and a 30-'06 or 270 will make you all set for anything....
