22 rimfires are often relined, but, they work at quite a bit lower pressure than a 30-30, etc. Personally, I would be very wary of a relined centerfire.
Reboring is more practical, IMO- in a case where you want to keep the original barrel. I suspect rebarreling with a new barrel wouldn't cost any more than reboring the original barrel.
On an early 94, I think either 32-40 or 38-55 might be good choices. If the original 30-30 bore is really badly pitted, you might not get all the pits out reboring to a 32 (either 32-40 or 32 Special). In that case, 38-55 is the obvious choice.
One other little detail: going from a shouldered 30-30 case to a straight wall 32-40 or 38-55 case, you may have to change the cartridge guides for smooth feeding. Simple to do (they're held in by screws), but easy to overlook.
As to the Low Wall, I'd choose 22 Hornet or 218 Bee- both seem to be a fitting choice of caliber for an action of that era, and both would have application for coyotes and PD's. But, that's just a personal preference thing.
