If I had to pick from my existing guns...
If I had to pick 5 from my existing guns, I'd go with my Ruger Hawkeye 308 win for medium/large game and bear protection (it's the only high power rifle in my collection), my CZ 452 in 22LR for small game, my Browning Cynergy O/U 12 ga shotgun for wingshooting and general hunting, my Winchester 94 Trapper in 44 mag, and my Ruger 44 Mag super blackhawk. The Trapper 94 is light, yet can be loaded with fairly peppy hardcast 44 mag handloads.
If I had a chance to buy a gun before I went to Alaska, I'd buy a Remington 870 and bring it instead of the Cynergy O/U. although the Cynergy is a great hunting gun and pretty robust, the 870 with a synthetic stock might be more durable for the Alaskan wilderness. Plus the double barreled Cynergy is a bit heavy with its two barrels. The 870 might be a little handier to carry in the field.
