My personal favorite is a Winchester 94 trapper combined with either a Ruger Redhawk or Super Blackhawk.

The beauty of the Win 94 compared to '92s or Marlin 1894s is the longer action allowed me to load somewhat beyond SAAMI without feeding issues. I would generally load the 300 grain Speer Unicore to the deeper rear cannelure. Of what is in current production, I'm waffling back and forth between a Ruger 77/44 and a Marlin 1894 cowboy version with the choice based on whether I wanted to shoot with a scope or iron sights .. and I haven't decided.

For .44 revolvers, depends on whether the intent is hunting or carry. My carry .44s are a S&W 329PD and a 4-5/8" super blackhawk. Choice between them depends on the purpose for the trip, backpacking vs fishing, etc. The S&W carries nice but is real bitch to shoot. For hunting, I like the Ruger hunter models. I've owned both bisley and standard.
