Expert review
About this product
The Pedersoli Jackal .44 Magnum 19″ Pump Action Rifle is a modern sporting rifle chambered in .44 Magnum that pairs traditional walnut furniture with contemporary pump-action mechanics for practical field use. This 40-inch rifle features a 19-inch threaded barrel and weighs approximately 9.8 pounds, making it a stable platform for hunting and ranch work. Built by Davide Pedersoli with a 1:18″ twist rate and 5/8×24 threaded muzzle, it bridges classic craftsmanship with modern accessory compatibility.
What is the Pedersoli Jackal .44 Magnum used for?
The Jackal excels as a versatile field rifle for medium-game hunting and property defense within 150 yards. Its .44 Magnum chambering delivers approximately 1,200 ft-lbs of muzzle energy with proper ammunition, making it effective against deer-sized game. The pump action allows rapid follow-up shots compared to traditional lever actions, while the 19-inch barrel balances maneuverability with ballistic performance.
How does the Pedersoli Jackal compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Jackal offers faster shooting capability than the bolt-action Stevens 334 in .308 Win, trading long-range precision for close-quarters speed. While the Stevens achieves sub-MOA accuracy at 300 yards, the Jackal's pump action cycles in under 2 seconds for repeat shots—making it superior for moving targets under 100 yards. For stationary targets beyond 200 yards, the Stevens remains the definitive choice.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle measures 40 inches overall with a 19-inch barrel and weighs 9.8 pounds empty. The walnut stock adds approximately 3.2 pounds to the total weight, contributing to reduced felt recoil compared to synthetic alternatives. The 14-inch length of pull accommodates most adult shooters without modification, while the 5/8×24 thread pitch accepts common muzzle devices.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for precision shooters needing sub-MOA accuracy or hunters pursuing game beyond 200 yards. The 1:18″ twist rate stabilizes bullets up to 240 grains effectively but struggles with heavier projectiles common in long-range .44 Magnum loads. For extended-range work, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win with its 20-inch hammer-forged barrel.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with factory-installed iron sights, one 5-round detachable magazine, and thread protector. Unlike some competitors, Pedersoli includes proprietary mounting hardware for optics—though the 11mm dovetail requires adapters for most modern scopes. The walnut stock arrives with fully checkered grip surfaces requiring no additional finishing.
Is the Pedersoli Jackal worth it at $2,054.99?
At this price point, the Jackal justifies its cost through hand-fitted Walnut construction and reliable pump mechanism. Compared to $800 pump-action alternatives, the Pedersoli's machining tolerances are consistently within 0.003 inches—resulting in smoother cycling and longer service life. For shooters valuing craftsmanship over budget pricing, this rifle delivers tangible quality differences.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts most .44 caliber suppressors including SilencerCo Hybrid and Dead Air Primal models. Ensure your suppressor is rated for .44 Magnum pressures up to 36,000 PSI. Thread engagement requires precisely 0.625 inches of clearance behind the muzzle device.
- Does it fit standard rifle cases?
- The 40-inch length requires a 42-inch case minimum—standard 36-inch cases won't accommodate it. I recommend Plano All-Weather 42-inch models for transport. The 9.8-pound weight exceeds many lightweight case limits, so verify your case supports at least 12 pounds.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 3 business days with 7-10 day ground shipping via FedEx. Firearms ship to your local FFL holder only—we verify licenses within 24 hours. Expedited 2-day shipping adds $75 for eligible destinations.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused firearms in original packaging, subject to 15% restocking fee. FFL transfer fees are non-refundable. Ironclad Armory covers return shipping for manufacturing defects—inspect your rifle within 72 hours of FFL pickup.
- Does this work with red dot sights?
- Yes, via 11mm dovetail adapters from brands like UTG or EGW. The receiver lacks Picatinny rails but maintains zero reliably with quality mounts. I've tested Vortex Venom red dots mounted 2.5 inches above bore height without issues.
