If you just want something for the alders around Fairbanks, look at the short barreled Marlin 1895G 45.70. Real easy to carry on a 4 wheeler, boat or hiking. Small & light enough you actually don't mind carrying it on those late night trips from the tent. I load 54gr H4198, 250CCI Mag primers & 350gr Kodiak HJ FN bonded bullets for about 2170fps. It never jams and I run about 200 rounds a year through it. Hell on the shoulder on paper, but a thing of beauty every fall on Kodiak Island. Goes right through deer and takes care of the tooth & claw crowd.
