Jeff Cooper used to write of the "Brooklyn Special"; a standard Winchester .30-30 equipped with a ghost ring rear peep and a high-visibility front post. Said rifle still held to be fairly innocuous by the Draconian permitting system in NYC.

I believe Wilson Combat makes the sights, I suppose you could also get a different finish, that seems sorta pointless though. Along those same lines sythetic stocks and forends can be had.

A low power Scout Scope too might apply, if ya aint actually downing game a .30-30 is still dangerous past 300 yards, especially with a scope I'd guess.

Actually, the standard Marlin 336 is pretty good right out of the box, the ghost peep being the greatest improvement. And heck, any peep rear sight can become a "ghost ring" merely by screwing out the apeture insert.
