My vote is for the Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull, of course I am biased as this is what I carry when tromping around in the bush, shotguns are great until you have to carry one around all day when hiking or fishing. Oh yea one other thing, Palmer is a great place and quit beautiful, not the drug/crime ridden place others have eluded to, now the Butte on the other hand is another story
