RE: 30-30 scope
A 3X9X40 would work just fine, some will say you don't need a 9 power on a 30-30 because of the limited range, But with the new ammo out for the lever action 30-30's, Hornady Leverevollution, you can get more range out of you lever action..Muzzle 2400 fps. 100yds- +3.0", 200yds 0.2", 300yds. -12.1"..not bad for a 100 yard brush gun.

A good quality 2.5x or 4x scope is all you'll ever need on a 30-30. If you're so far away a 4x scope ain't enough,you're too far away to shoot it with 30-30 in 1st place.

That's like shot guns with slug barrels, and Muzzle Loaders. How many put a 3X9 on these? When I shoot at the range I like the option to turn up the power to see the target better. So I might only be shooting less than 100 yds. I still like to see a closer view. To each their own, but what will it hurt to over kill on your optics?

had a 4x mounted previously, put a 2-7x and its perfect, modern .30-30 are suppose to hit 300yds...so a 3-9 wouldnt be out of the question, but I think that 2-7x would be hard to beat on a .30-30.

Some ole timers think that a Scope has no place on a Lever action 30/30. 50 years ago they didn't need them so why now? Because We Can!!

Just my opinion...
