Even a 35 Remington would be better.
I think this depends on your POV. Want to buy inexpensive factory ammo? Load small or big (100 gr to 170 gr)? Are you sensitive to recoil? Stretch your range with a spire point bullet?
I'll take the 30-30, thank you very much. A fun gun to shoot, and it's pretty cool to be hunting with a tradition again. Surprisingly accurate to boot. Dead is dead, know your rifle's limitations.
