Has as already been suggested, a Marlin 30-30 at the ranges you are talking about. With Traditional flat or round nose ammo it's good to 100 yards or so. With the new Hornady soft-tip spitzer bullets it's good to 200 (Both provided you are... ). ;)

OTOH, an SKS has the same (slightly better) ballistics as a 30-30, is cheaper to shoot for practice, and cleaper to buy too.

Either will work. Put a Tasco 2x red dot scope on, to help find the target and hold the dot steady as you control breathing and squeeze the trigger. Can't miss.
