Description
There's something about a wood-stocked bolt gun in .270 Winchester that just feels right in deer camp, and the Stevens 334 Walnut delivers that classic look without the classic price tag. Built for Savage's Stevens line by ATA Arms in Turkey, where quality walnut is easy to come by, this rifle wears an oil-finished Turkish walnut sporter stock with cut checkering that looks a step or two above what you'd expect in this class. Underneath the wood you get modern construction where it counts: a carbon steel receiver with an integrated recoil lug that seats into a bedding block in the stock for consistent shot-to-shot performance.
What Makes the Stevens 334 Shoot
The 20 inch heavy sporter barrel is free-floated, button rifled, and finished with an 11 degree target crown, a combination that has earned this rifle a reputation for grouping well beyond its price point in published testing. The three-lug bolt gives you a short 60 degree lift, so there's plenty of clearance under your scope and follow-up shots come quick. Feeding comes from a detachable 3-round box magazine for a 3+1 total capacity, and the 3-position safety lets you cycle the bolt to unload with the trigger still blocked, a feature plenty of pricier rifles skip.
Optics-Ready 334 Walnut, Right Out of the Box
There are no iron sights on this one, and that's by design. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with Savage 110 spacing and ships with a steel MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail already installed, so mounting your scope is about as painless as it gets. A generous rubber recoil pad takes the edge off the .270's push, and two sling swivel studs are in place for a sling or a bipod. For whitetail, mule deer, antelope, and even elk at reasonable distances, the flat-shooting .270 Winchester in a rifle like this is a combination that has filled freezers for generations, and the 334 carries that tradition forward at a working hunter's price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Stevens 334 come with sights or a scope?
No iron sights and no scope are included. Instead, the receiver comes drilled and tapped with a steel Picatinny rail already installed, using Savage 110 hole spacing. Just add rings and the scope of your choice and you're ready for the range.
Who makes the Stevens 334 and where is it built?
Stevens is a brand of Savage Arms, and the Model 334 is manufactured in Turkey by ATA Arms, a factory with decades of gunmaking experience. That's also why the walnut version wears genuine Turkish walnut, which is some of the best gunstock wood in the world. Savage handles importation and support in the US.
Is .270 Winchester a good choice in this rifle for deer and elk?
Absolutely. The .270 Win is one of the most proven big-game cartridges ever made, flat-shooting and effective on whitetail, mule deer, and antelope, with heavier bullets handling elk at sensible ranges. The 334's recoil pad and 7 pound plus heft help keep the recoil very manageable.
How does the 3-position safety on the Stevens 334 work?
The rear position locks everything up, the middle position blocks the trigger while still letting you work the bolt, and the forward position is fire. That middle setting is the handy one, since it lets you load or unload the chamber with the safety still engaged.
