I have never owned a 30-30 until now, had it out and shot it today, struggled with the open sights as with my progressive bi focals I had a little trouble getting both front and rear sight in clear focus, anyway I put 6 rounds through it and had them all on the paper at 100 yards, pie plate size group, just OK.
Felt kind of good to shoot something that has a little nostalgia, going to carry it in a couple weeks when I push bush for the boy's, it should be perfect for that, they have a cow moose draw and a mulie draw here at home.

You should try a receiver mounted peep/ ghost. Much easier for eyes to focus just in front sight and allow rear peep to blur. You might like it
