CZ Carbine in 7.62x39 This. Accurate, light as a .22LR and I can fit more ammo in a pocket than a larger caliber. I can't see farther than 100 yards nowadays anyway and the rifle groups well at that distance. |

I didn't grow up in the woods trapping small game and stalking elk.Which means I need every advantage I have in keeping myself fed. As I said I feel like starving is more a threat to me than bears. And although it's not ideal a 22 mag is still better than a sharp stick or starving. |

WOW!
Based on the responses so far, I think we have narrowed down 2 bolt action rifles ARFCOM members would trust their life with:
Honorable mention to those that would trust their lives to the .22LR if stranded in the Alaskan Bush (serious, not being a dick about it!), I bet a average cargo pocket would hold damn near a 1000 rounds! Not necessarily in that order! |

It also shoots very small groups but I can't shoot it from the bench because my neck is so fucked up.

as goofy as they are, for this situation I'd go with a stainless steel Ruger Gunsite scout in .308 with a 2-7x scope on it
if the scope is broken you still have irons, also the rifle is stainless steel, plus .308 is a great all around caliber 
a Ruger 77/357 or 77/44 .357mag or .44mag bolt gun would be handy in that situation as well
