The IFG-NA Kodiak Survival SxS is a side-by-side double rifle chambered in .44 Magnum with a compact 16.25-inch barrel—a serious tool for hunters and outdoors people who need reliable firepower in rugged terrain. Built for backcountry use where a lightweight, fast-handling rifle makes the difference, the Kodiak delivers the stopping power of .44 Mag in a profile that won't slow you down on long treks into remote country. The side-by-side configuration keeps the gun narrow and quick to bring to shoulder, and the short barrel makes it maneuverable through brush and tight spaces where traditional rifle setups prove cumbersome.
If you hunt thick timber, steep canyons, or overlander terrain where close-range encounters are the norm, a double rifle in .44 Magnum covers your bases with two barrels ready to go. The Kodiak is purpose-built for survival and backcountry work—situations where a second shot on demand and compact handling matter more than long-range precision. The .44 Mag cartridge packs substantial energy and is proven on everything from large game to defensive applications, all from a platform small enough to carry cross-country or stash in a vehicle.
This is a specialized rifle for serious outdoors work. If your days involve wilderness camps, remote hunting, or overland adventures where you need a compact, powerful rifle that handles fast, the Kodiak SxS fills that role.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a side-by-side double rifle and why would I choose one?
A side-by-side (SxS) double rifle has two barrels positioned side by side, giving you two ready shots without working a bolt or lever. This layout keeps the gun narrow for handling through tight terrain, and it's fast if you need a follow-up shot immediately. The Kodiak's compact profile makes it ideal for backcountry hunting and survival situations where speed and maneuverability trump long-range capability.
Is the Kodiak Survival SxS 44 Mag suitable for backpacking and overlanding?
Yes. The 16.25-inch barrel and double-rifle design make the Kodiak compact and lightweight enough for extended backcountry trips and overlanding where you need a reliable, powerful rifle without the bulk of a full-length hunting rifle.
What game and use cases is .44 Magnum appropriate for?
The .44 Magnum is a proven, hard-hitting cartridge used by hunters for large game in close to medium range, and it's also standard for defensive work. In the Kodiak's short-barreled, two-shot package, it's suited for hunters who work tight country and situations where you need reliable stopping power and a quick second shot.
