Nothing uglier than a scoped lever gun - imo. Larding a carbine with a scope ruins it's fast handing and packability - the very traits that make the lever gun desirable.
And a 30-30 isn't a 300yd cartridge.
I can understand an RDS, as they are pretty small. And a receiver sight is the best all-around for ruggedness and precision
IMHO of course.
