There is something to be said for a plain, well-built bolt gun in .30-06, and the Stevens 334 hits that mark without emptying your wallet. Built for Savage under the Stevens name, this version wears a genuine Turkish walnut stock matched to a matte black carbon steel receiver, so it looks like the deer rifles most of us grew up around while carrying features you would expect on pricier guns. The 20 inch barrel is free floated, button rifled, and finished with an 11 degree target crown, and the shorter length keeps the rifle handy in a box blind, on a four wheeler, or working through thick timber.
The action is where this rifle earns its keep. A 60 degree bolt lift with three locking lugs clears your scope bell and cycles quickly for follow-up shots, and the two-stage trigger is adjustable so you can tune the pull to your liking. A tang-style 3-position safety lets you cycle the bolt with the safety engaged, which is a nice touch when unloading at the end of a hunt. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail already installed, and it also plays nice with Savage 110-pattern rings if that is what you have in the parts drawer. Feeding comes from a 3-round detachable box magazine, and two sling swivel studs are ready for a sling or bipod.
The .30-06 Springfield chambering needs no introduction. Ammo is on the shelf of just about every store that sells cartridges, and it handles everything from whitetail to elk with the right load. At roughly 7.4 pounds unloaded with a recoil pad soaking up some of the push, the 334 carries well without beating you up at the bench. There are no iron sights on this one, so plan on topping it with glass before opening day. For a first deer rifle, a truck gun, or a backup for hunting camp, the 334 covers the bases with room in the budget left over for a solid scope and ammo.
No iron sights or scope are included. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail already in place, so all you need is a set of rings and your optic of choice. It is also compatible with Savage 110-style scope rings if you prefer to mount directly to the receiver.
Yes, the 334 uses a two-stage trigger that can be adjusted for pull weight. Out of the box it breaks clean for a rifle in this class, and being able to fine tune it is a nice bonus at this end of the market.
The shorter barrel keeps overall length down and makes the rifle easier to maneuver in blinds, brush, and vehicles. With a .30-06 you give up a small amount of velocity compared to a 22 inch tube, but for typical hunting distances it will not make a practical difference on game. Most hunters appreciate the handier package.
Absolutely. The .30-06 Springfield has been taking elk, moose, and bear for over a century with proper bullet selection. Pair this rifle with a quality 165 to 180 grain hunting load and it is well suited for most North American big game.
