Default 30-30 question...good for long range?

I bought myself my first Winchester model 94 30-30 a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Here's my question (and forgive what may be a dumb question): I'm planning a special 40th birthday year hunt with my best hunting buddy next year and we are going to Canada (probably Saskachewan)to hunt Mulies, Blacktail, etc. I expect it to be a pretty tough trip, physically, and I sure would like to carry the 30-30 instead of my much heavier and longer Rem 700. Any thoughts on the viability of the 30-30 in longer-range situations..200 yards or so? I'm not too worried about the power, but I'm not sure it will shoot flat enough. Sure would hate to miss an opportunity at a trophy.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts/opinions.
