You'll never regret the Marlin, in either .30-30 or .35 Rem. If I was forced to only use one rifle, that would be it. Shots around here are probably a little longer than what you describe, but I've only had to pass up a couple over the years when carrying my Marlin.
Art's point about a scope is very much worth considering. I have an older Weaver K-3 on mine and I think the set-up is about ideal for low light, quick shots. Still adequate out to the effective range of the .30-30.
I have a Mojo sight on a Turk Mauser and wouldn't be afraid to take it hunting at all. I fact, I told my wife I put that sight on so I could take Achmed out in nasty weather and not damage my "good" rifles. Do you guys think she believed me?
