The lever action isn't going anywhere. The .30-30 might though. The marlin 336 is the only thing keeping it alive.
Don't get me wrong, I love my pop gun. It's even rumored that the .30-30 is powerful enough to knock down 3 lunch room ladies

I agree with this - and speaking of revolver guys, I think the market for levers in .357/.38 and .44, so you can dual purpose the cartridge may outlive the .30-30 itself.

I always enjoy your gun insight and tend to agree on you on just about every topic, but I have to disagree on this. At least in the south, a lever gun will always be a 30-30. OP is dead on with the loss in popularity of the ole Winchester. You just don't see them like you used to. The Winny's fault, in my opinion is the top eject mechanism. People just don't use iron sights anymore and there is no "good" way to mount a scope on one. The Marlin shoots holes (no pun) in that theory, but I'm sticking with it anyway.
