I have Model 94, I'm 42, and I know it's older than I am, because my step-dad bought it used in the late '50's. I haven't ever checked to see when in it was manufactured.
I've often thought that it would make an ideal weapon for what you are proposing. It's a good looking, non-intimidating rifle to the general public. 30-30 would certainly carry enough punch to be effective in a self defense situation, and the gun is plenty compact for this use. I would do the same with mine, but it has sentimental value, and has been promised to my son when he's old enough to have it.
