Since you don't have action length as a factor, like you would with a bolt gun, the 35 Whelan would be another possibility.
The #3 has that curved buttplate, and is a bit lighter than a #1 to start with. With a bored out barrel, that might lighten it even a bit more. I think recoil would be a factor with full power loads.
The rifle sure would make a good woods rifle for about anything, though.
Interesting project- keep us updated on what you decide and how it works.
