Stevens 334 .30-06 Springfield Bolt Action Rifle 22″ Black Synthetic

Description

The .30-06 Springfield has been putting deer, elk, and black bears on the ground for over a century, and the Stevens 334 gives you that proven cartridge in a no-nonsense bolt gun that leaves plenty of room in the budget for glass and ammo. Built for Savage under the Stevens name, the 334 skips the frills but keeps the stuff that matters: a free-floating, button-rifled 22 inch carbon steel barrel with an 11 degree target crown, a three-lug bolt with a fast 60 degree lift, and a two-stage trigger that breaks clean once you get some rounds through it.

Why the Stevens 334 Punches Above Its Weight

The 60 degree bolt throw is a feature you usually find on pricier rifles, and it makes a real difference. Shorter lift means more clearance under your scope and quicker cycling when a follow-up shot counts. The three-position safety lets you work the bolt with the safety engaged, so you can unload without coming off safe. Feeding comes from a 3-round detachable box magazine, which is a lot handier at the truck or the treestand than a blind mag. The receiver arrives drilled and tapped with a steel MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail already mounted, so you can bolt on a scope and head to the range the same day.

A 334 Built for the Field

The black synthetic sporter stock shrugs off rain, snow, and knocks against the truck bed without complaint, and the matte black metalwork keeps glare down when you are settled in on a hillside. A recoil pad takes the edge off the .30-06, and at around 7.6 pounds bare, the rifle has enough heft to help soak up recoil too. Two sling swivel studs come standard, so adding a sling or a bipod is simple.

For a first big game rifle, a loaner for camp, or a dependable workhorse that lives behind the seat during deer season, the Stevens 334 in .30-06 covers the bases without making you pay for extras you will never use.
