I told my wife that for my 30h birthday I was buying myself a BLR, I love those guns. That being said they do not ballance as well as my old model 94, having that tube mag out front sure gives a gun a nice feel. Some of the new models from marlin look interesting, most notibly the 338 marlin which pretty much duplicates a 30-06 out of a real honest rear locking lever gun. But I'll still go with the BLR just cause who knows when those new cartridges will become readily availible or if they will just flop and you will have the equivelent of the old 307 in your gun cabinet, except in this case you can not reload the shells to anything near factory velocities should it come to that. If you dont hunt moose all that often theres nothing wrong with a classic old 30-30 though. Will take deer out to 200 yards which would be enough for about 99% of the deer Ive shot.
