Interesting you'd throw a bolt action into the mix. I think your "general purpose" clause leaves quite a bit to be desired by one rifle alone, but with that in mind----I'd say the Ruger Mini-30 ranch rifle is what would fit all of your criteria, and in case you don't reload, the 7.62x39 ammo is readily available, and more economical than some others and I might add, almost identical to the 30-30 ballistics-wise.
