CETME is a good rifle, but to heavy to tote around.
.22 in Alaska? for what? mosquitos?

Nothing against it but the Ruger 10/22 is the priciest .22 out there.

.45 ACP at 300 yards? How about a lever-action carbine and a revolver , both in .44 magnum?

Long shots are nice but dangerous animals aren’t a problem at long range. When it comes to saving your life from a po’d Grizzly at close range I would think a lever action in 45-70 would be the preferred weapon.

Rifles need to be able to handle moose and bear. The best one currently available is the semiauto version of the German G3 rifle.

Uhh, what?

Nothing against the CETME/HK pattern rifles, but that wouldn't be my first choice for moose or bear. .308 is a bit on the light side for dangerous game. I'd prefer something like a Browning BLR in .300 Win Mag at minimum. I think they even make a take-down model.

Folks, if I wanted to buy the most reliable, easy to use, powerful enough pistol ever made, what would I buy? And about how much would I be spending?

Dubious gun recomendations - a 1911 and .30 carbine might work but are hardly the best firearms against brown bears.

I stopped reading when the author suggested a trip to England to buy a shotgun.
