[@mogulrider]

I have two of them. 243 and 6.5 Creed. Fabulous rifles with 3lb triggers. Just make sure you tighten everything which you should do with any new rifle.

[@DelC90]

Picked up mine a month ago , couldn't be happier for price ( $1150AUD), was going to get Ruger American but rolled the dice and went with the ATA. Synthetic stock .308 Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 mildot Shoots sub moa with most amo at 100m .

[@SexyC63Amg]

Mate, you got yourself a great rifle for that price. I love my ATA very happy with it.

[@ballstank3904]

Now they $850 and comes with some shitty scope and rings at horsley park gun shop nsw. The wooden version

[@beiser555]

That trigger is fully adjustable. You need to remove two screwdriver bolts using locksmith vise, than replace it with hex bolts and tune it. Also you can polish rubbing surfaces. I made a one stage trigger after that with a little trigger movement

[@vinland7956]

I think they're being marketed in Canada as a Savage-Stevens 334 as well, offered in 243, 6.5CM, and 308. So far they seem to have decent reviews and are often described as 'tanks'. Might be a very good budget option! Thanks for a great review!

[@EpikArms]

no prob! yeah I actually found a Savage Stevens 338 and Ordered it, seems like they dont have as many options for stocks ECT

[@EpikArms]

Just received my stevens334, while the bolt fit into one another the finish on the Stephen's is a bit rough. The bolt didn't smooth whatsoever. Have yet to see about accuracy and reliability

[@gerardcorreale7760]

i have the savage/stevens 334, shoots great and works great. no iron sights just picatanny rail 429.00

[@wwalker3738]

Only issue is is the bolt is sticky and doesn’t slide real easily

[@oldArmyVet]

I love my stevens 334 , the stock on mine is so beautiful, its like one youd find on custom rifle.

[@garyK.45ACP]

I've seen these sold as the Savage-Stevens 334. I've been very pleased with Turkish O/U shotguns and handguns I own. I am pleased to see some rifles coming out.

[@NBoutdoors18]

Picked up one last summer in 6.5 (would have rather had a 308 but they sold out to quick) tried 4 different loads and it really liked the hornady superpreformance 129 sst and the sako blade 120 gr. great rifle for the price. just waiting for mu soley canadian adjustable cheek piece. see one canadian dealer with stock but the price has gone way up.

[@In_con_ceivable]

Nice rifle for the money…just trying to figure out where I’d be able to shoot it outside the gta…ranges are getting expensive and multiple memberships is really expensive. Great video 👍🏻

[@EpikArms]

thanks Mikey!

[@dustinkeim179]

I’m glad you got to review one , you might have the first review video in English

[@kennygates1756]

Great job as always. I find your videos fair and not over the top. Would love to see you review a Howa Superlite.

[@EpikArms]

Thanks Kenny! Yeah im looking for one!

[@sammartinez8084]

Thanks again for the info 👍👍 and great show 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@nelloagostini4389]

Just bought a Stevens 334 at cabalas which I'm pretty sure is the same gun. I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the trigger was hopping your video might have some insight. I would like to see this gun in 30-06 and with a sorter couture barrel if they could shave a pound off it would be fantastic

[@garrytalley8009]

Nice video. I don't share your view on creep in Savage Axis Rifles though. I certainly don't have a lot of creep in any of mine. Hardly any creep in even the plain Axis, the Axis II is a bit better yet. Most likely that rifle would be better if purchased through Savage as the Stevens 334 because then you would have service on it if necessary. The barrel profile on the rifle you interviewed is a heavier than standard barrel that I like better myself. Not sure if you mentioned it. A bit heavy for a stalking hunting rifle. Good for blind hunting or the bench.

[@Александр-т3ф5к]

Hello every one . I 'm buying my first carbine . I need help in choosing professionals . I choose among the following : 1) tikka T3 light 2) browning X bolt 3) benelli lupo 4) beretta brx1. 5 ) mannlicher pro hunter. The target is shooting up to 500 meters , occasionally hunting Caliber 308 win

[@EpikArms]

i only have experience with Tikka and Browning, and in my case both were quite good

[@jasonwinter8716]

I want one of those with iron sights! Haven't been able to find one.

[@stevemiller6044]

would you re shoot some groups with the action re torqued please?

[@draconian6692]

Love this

[@digaoturbo]

Bought one in 243 win laminated stock 24". I'm looking for open sights to install on it.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

I don't see these in the states

[@EpikArms]

Yep, on gunbroker, just not with the same stock

[@TheBeefSlayer]

Big thing. You can NOT top load the Mag on this rifle. To load more than one round… you must drop the mag and load manually. Mags are super expensive. 50$ 5rnd max.

[@masonprice6976]

where can you get the larger capacity magazine? Thank you

[@EpikArms]

It came with the Turqua

[@5nyper]

Can you review the ATA ALR?

[@vt5speed272]

I’m having the same issue with the action not seating properly and having some side to side movement. Could you elaborate on how you fixed the issue on your rifle?

[@EpikArms]

I recapped the threats as some were cross threaded and didn't allow the rifle to properly seat

[@sammartinez8084]

The gun is beutfull looking but the stock is not right look at the caek pad 😮😮😕😕😬

[@PassivePortfolios]

No, Savage Axis 2 is the best budget rifle around. Bergara makes some good ones too in the low price range.

[@jasonrobelia8829]

I just got the stevens 334 in 243 synthetic stock and the axis doesn't come close in quality.

[@PassivePortfolios]

@@jasonrobelia8829 the key is accuracy. And Savage is more consistent than the other cheap rifles, although Bergara comes very close.

[@jasonrobelia8829]

@@PassivePortfolios my 334 shoots .5 moa at 100 yards and for mor then 3 shots.

[@PassivePortfolios]

@@jasonrobelia8829 did you buy the rifle from a dealer or was it sent to you by Savage for testing?

[@riverrivers250]

Wish Savage made iron/open sights standard on the Axis rifles..

Do a review for Sig cross man. ❤

[@EpikArms]

Working on it at the moment!

[@s4h1n58]

Can you please make a video about another Turkish rifle İstanbul Silah Monza. It is almost same price as ata turqua.

[@EpikArms]

hey there, I dont see any in Canada at the moment, Ill get one if they come back in stock

[@chadperry4021]

Needs a chambering I don’t have and maybe.

[@urgamecshk]

Is that photo of the receiver threads before or after you chased it?

[@EpikArms]

I beleive that was before I chased it

[@riverrivers250]

1:12 ,,, how do you like the iron sights,,,,, accurate enough??? Is the front post kinda too big??

[@EpikArms]

yep, front sights too chunky/blocky in my opinion

[@riverrivers250]

@@EpikArms ya thats what i think too for my Henry 3030 steel ,,, i changed the front and back sights too HiViz (front too big) thinking of putting original front post with the rear HiViz,,, the buckhorns were no good for my eyes,,,

[@TheBeefSlayer]

I got a Stevens one of these…. I said when I got it home if it had iron sights it be perfect. Now I see this and instantly sick. 😂😂😂😂

[@ddwayn2469]

What rifle chassis will this Turqua ATA fit it. Or come close to fit it?

[@EpikArms]

i dont think it will fit in any chassis at the moment its the same rifle as the Stevens 334 so when Stevens gets a chassi so will the ATA

[@TheBeefSlayer]

Work bolt actions with your palm. 👍🤷🏼

[@GoldCountryTrapping]

The 334 at Cabela's doesn't have sights. The ones I have seen, the walnut doesn't look great. I dont like the cocking indicator, or the picatinny rail. Looks weird. Ill pass. Which sucks cause im all about these cheaper bolt guns.

[@steveunderwood2356]

How do you get the 5 round clip.

[@urgamecshk]

They come with it

[@podguri8495]

Efectife range ?

[@EpikArms]

That's cartridge based and debatable, but not by me!

[@Yelladog78]

Try getting any replacement parts for these rifles. I'm needing a trigger assembly for mine - ATA is no help, every company in the 🇺🇲 & 🇨🇦 they tell me to contact no help, most don't even deal with ATA & don't know why I was told to contact them. No overseas distributors can help. Just know that before you buy one there are ZERO parts available for these if they need repair and mine did. Probably the worst customer service I've ever encountered unfortunately

[@EpikArms]

@Yelladog78 wow thats unfortunate. This is a wild card option but the Steven's 334 is the same rifle. Reach out to Savage Arms (ATA is making their rifles and likely Savage will have parts for you.

[@Yelladog78]

@@EpikArms I actually tried them already but they couldn't help. I'm going to raise enough stink ATA makes things right

Epic Arms listening to you make excuses and spin was extremely funny. You lost credibility but your a great Comedian ! Very funny.

[@EpikArms]

lol glad you found it entertaining! excuses on what? the wobbly stock?

[@ZombieSexmachine]

He had good accuracy even before he found the problem. It's a budget gun, you want it shooting down fighter jets?

[@rt66rc86]

@@EpikArms Is the bedding similar or the same as the Ruger American center fire? The bolt and receiver appear to be a rip-off of that!

[@blackhawk2302]

Is there a chance you can review the Browning X Bolt Target Heavy? That one's got my interest.

[@EpikArms]

Yep I actually have a review on that one, it's their previous model though before they upgraded the stock

[@blackhawk2302]

@@EpikArms What would be your pick between Aero Precision Solus Bravo 308 or the Browning X Bolt Target 308? Both are somewhat similar in price. The Aero is smaller with a 20" barrel that's a match grade clone of what the US Army uses. Guaranteed sub moa out of the box. Decent adjustable KRG chassis.Triggertech single stage. Supposedly has a very smooth action. 20" seems short to me for a 308 but I won't be going past 500 meters so I don't know if that really matters. Lastly, I love the overall look. Looks like a dedicated sniper rifle. X bolt has an awesome precision Japanese heavy barrel with a muzzle brake. But it's 26", making it more unwieldy. The DLX trigger is supposed to be excellent. Has higher mag capacity and compatible with other aftermarket mags. Adjustable stock (wish I could afford the McMillan stock lol). Beefed up receiver. Beefed up bedding. Action is also supposed to be very good. Dedicated long range target rifle, but again I won't be going past 500M. Supposed to be a real tack driver. I like this look too, just not as much but that's not a dealbreaker. I see pros and cons to both. What's your opinion?

[@EpikArms]

Good question I have no experience with the solus, but its specs seem very desirable.

[@blackhawk2302]

@@EpikArms Cool, thanks. And I picked up the Arken sh-4j largely based on your recommendation. You were right on in your reviews. It's an awesome scope for the money! Good fit/finish, good turrets, Japanese glass and illumination for 399 USD. It's a great value.
