I've been lookin at the Marlin 444P which is the Outfitter, right?
It has the 1-20" Ballard and the short barrel. The on,y thing I wish was different is I like the pistol grip vs. the straight grip, but I could live with it (or find one to swap out, I guess).
It sure ain't a need but thought it might be cool to have a thumper throwing heavy cast that didn't weigh as much or use as much powder as my old .375!
If that were mine, the first things I'd grab would be a can of H4198 and a box of Beartooth Bullets 300 grain WFN.
And I wouldn't be afraid to look at anything on this continent through the sights. You can get enough velocity to have a relatively flat trajectory, and the WFN can dig in and break some running gear.
And with the 1/20 twist, even heavier is quite a possibility.
