I Review the Stevens 334 .308 Winchester (Turkish Made Bolt Action Rifle)

[@theidahorifleman]

Hey guys, I gotta address this now... Apparently I had a brain fart in the video. My 1911 weighs 3.7lbs fully loaded and I guess my brain must have switched those numbers and I compared the 1911 to the weight of this rifle and I thought no more about it through editing. Several of you have pointed it out to me in the comments and you're right, the 1911 does not weigh 7lbs. A more accurate comparison to the weight of the Steven's 334 would be my AR-15 that weighs a little over 6.7lbs. Sorry for the confusion!

[@Extra_Ordinary_Gary]

I thought you were joking about how cumbersome a 1911 is compared to a plastic pistol... I thought it was funny haha

[@allenstump5460]

I do not believe it has an adjustable trigger. Got my 334 in 6.5 last month and read the owners manual and there is no way to adjuster it. Trigger weight was reading 7+ pounds. What I did was take the trigger apart and cut the one spring down and got the trigger pull to about 3 1/4 pounds which is good. Super accurate rifle! I love mine!

[@theidahorifleman]

Does yours have the 2 set screws in the trigger?

[@allenstump5460]

@@theidahorifleman if i understand correctly what you a talking about, yes. Those screw according to the owners manual are set from factory and are not to be moved. I tried :). They do not budge. And they're not suppose to...

[@allenstump5460]

I'll just say that i was under the same impression that the trigger was a adjustable. It was a little disappointing. But with a little jerry-rigging you can change that pull weight.

[@theidahorifleman]

That's interesting. It seems like they released some and then fixed some issues and then released another "gen" if you will.

I have the ATA Turqua versions before they white labeled them to Savage. They are fabulous rifle. I have 243 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Both are .5MOA. WIth multiple brands and grains. These are best budget rifle out there by far. That travel is easy to adjust. Mine has iron sights. The savages don't

I almost bought one of those, bought the Remington 783 16.5" 308 instead but my son in law ordered the 334 synthetic in 6.5 creedmoor. I'm going to keep watching these & may pickup one later if the accuracy reviews are good across the board

[@theidahorifleman]

It was just too good of a deal to pass up for a .308 with a Turkish Walnut stock! I've been very happy with it so far. I had read that the trigger in the earlier models was just a little less than egregious... this one seems really nice. It's certainly not a precision rifle and the action is pretty rough, but it's a great brush gun that seems like it'll shoot reliably

Tax and all I paid 490 bucks for mine. Shoots really well and reminds me of a Tika , quality is really great for the price. Trigger is tad stiff 5.5 pounds on mine. overallI give it 9.5 out of 10, if trigger was adjustable it would be a 10. One thing about these rifles they are really greased up on the bolt and chamer , you need to clean that up before you use it , FYI

[@malinkifox2011]

Great review

[@williamnelson9892]

I think your supposed to depress the trigger at the sametime as the bolt release to insert the bolt

[@peterhrkal8165]

As far as I know its supposed to be a 2 stage trigger.... so that take up is intended and purposeful. secondly, 60 deg bolt throw is really nice.... all other savage rifles have 90 deg and its horrible. scope scrapers forsure

[@Nanker63]

7.62x51 ammo is loaded/rated at lower pressure than .308 win because it wiil potentially be fired in a wider range of temperature extremes. Hot climates - higher pressures . Mostly an auto rifle concern, not too many bolt rifles chambered in 7.62x51.

[@theidahorifleman]

Thank you. I know that it's not a new concept and design. I've just never had one on any of the bolt guns I've owned or shot. It's very nice!

[@MontanaWillie44]

I won’t own a bolt action that isn’t 3 stage safe. The only exception is my Browning X-Bolt and that’s because you can still open the bolt while on safe via an unlock “button” on the bolt handle. You should never not be able to unload while on safe. Remington is still in the Stone Age in that regard.

[@ChrisCunnane]

I like the stock😂👌👌👌

[@Thermopylae2007]

It looks like a decent rifle, but I still wonder why Savage got rid of the Stevens 200, essentially a base model version of the Model 10/110. They were better than the Axis/Edge and were reasonably priced.

[@theidahorifleman]

It's always disappointing when companies stop producing their time-honored classics!!

It definitely cuts paper. I would want to reshoot it with a lead sled to take the human element out it to account for my shaking and get the best test possible

[@briankinzer4175]

What trigger assembly does it use mine I cannot adjust almost broke off the adjuster for it tryna get it to move mines at 4-5 lbs on trigger pull it also creeps a little can a man use a different spring maybe use an accu trigger from another savage idk how to get the trigger softer I don’t like 4-5 lbs it’s ridiculous for target plinking I got a sub moa group from Hornady black thanks to my lead sled but still I need Info on the trigger and how to adjust or replace it I can find no info about it anywhere

[@DonnieDispersed]

It’s not supposed to be adjusted. It’s being marketed as having an adjustable trigger, but the manual states the adjuster screws are set from the factory and not to be adjusted. I’m guessing the loctited them in. My screw immediately started stripping out when I tried. Bit of a fumble by savage marketing team.

[@theidahorifleman]

"Not to be adjusted", but if you can get the loc-tite loose without damaging the screw, then turning the screw inward lessens the poundage and turning the screw out increases it

[@DonnieDispersed]

@@theidahorifleman you inspired me to go out and take a second look at it. Decided to put some heat on the screw and trigger with the tip of a soldering iron. Then supporting the back side of the trigger with the soldering iron I was able to turn the screw in a bit. Just have to make sure to push in squarely with the screw driver while turning to avoid stripping out the slot. I was careful to use the correct screw driver bit but still rounded off the slot a bit. Touched it up with a small file to get the burrs off and the trigger is much nicer now. Actually made it too light and had to back out slightly. Curious to see what affect it’ll have on the groups. 👍

[@theidahorifleman]

They have to put in the manual not to adjust the trigger in case someone does someone wrong and injures or kills themselves with a hair trigger. Everyone is very concerned with liability and for good reason. There's usually a void to the warranty that goes with changing settings, just like with the FN SCAR voiding the warranty if you attach a suppressor. I'm of the opinion that you should have a gun that you love to run, the way you want to run it. I'll pass on the information that I learn about how to make some adjustments anytime that I can - with the disclaimer that I'm not a qualified gunsmith and any changes made to your firearms should be done safely and in a controlled environment with an unloaded weapon. I will show you and tell you what I did, but I won't be held liable if you attempt to do the same and are injured or killed or if your weapon fails to function afterwards. Gotta cover myself too, ya know!

Interesting. I might have gotten some incorrect data along the way.

I like the fact you can lock the bolt to prevent accidental opening while going through dense bush. Great. Also like the 3 stage safety as well as the 2 stage trigger. Boy, they did pack a lot of features I like for a good price BUT- And this is a big issue for me- no instructions on how to disassemble the bolt. They have joined growing community of gun makers that consider end users to be idiots who are to take the bolt to gunsmith for internal cleaning or any other issue. Why? Paul Mauser is rolling in his grave. Internal components of the bolt do get dirty, greasy or broken. If someone accidentally falls down or drops the gun in the mud and the bolt gets dirty inside while hunting what are they suppose to do? In the old days you would disassemble the bolt right there, cleaned it up and kept moving. Today? Bring an extra rifle or extra bolt? On general note; I don't care how well the guns shoot in terms of sub moa etc. because hunting rifles are not made to do long distance competition in clean and controlled environment you have on the range. They are meant to be taken through the roughest spots in pursue of the game. They are also meant to save your bacon if suddenly attacked by charging bear. I don't want to keep thinking in the back of my mind if the extractor will break, if there will be a light primer strike, will my trigger fail because it is soo "cool and light" yet prone to corrosion in the real world environment. Ask guides in Africa what they carry. Usually Mauser style controlled feed rifle. I rely on those myself but I would love to try this rifle if only Savage would post a note on how to disassemble the bolt.

[@theidahorifleman]

I will make a video on this. It's actually a fairly simple process which surprised me. Like you stated, there's not a lot of manufacturers (firearms or otherwise) willing to let the end user do simple maintenance on any product.

The selling price at a major sporting good store was under $400. If you use their in-store credit card, the price was $380. I have to admit that I did a double take on the 7 lbs. comment about the 1911. I own quite a few 1911s and empty, they're all well under 3 lbs. empty.

It would have been just as easy to tell me that I mis-spoke instead of calling me stupid, but I'm sure you're right about everything all the time and you never mis-speak or make mistakes. You're correct that I was wrong in my comparison. My 1911 weighs 3.7lbs fully loaded (I knew there was a 7 in that number somewhere). A better comparison would have been my AR-15 coming in at just over 6.7lbs.

Do we, really, need the tee shirt? The more prudent guntubers make it an express point to avoid politicism in their videos. Goodbye.

Sorry it's offensive to you. I'm doing my best to support a fellow guntuber in his political race. If the politics of that offends you, then take care. Sorry my channel wasn't for you.

@@theidahorifleman There are more than 1.3 million people living in modern slavery in Turkey, which ranks fifth among 151 countries in which modern slavery is the most prevalent, according to the results of the 2023 Global Slavery Index. The study, which concerns data in 2021, was produced by the Australian-based human rights organization Walk Free and released on Wednesday. In the index modern slavery is described as covering “a set of specific legal concepts including forced labor, debt bondage, forced marriage, slavery and slavery-like practices, and human trafficking.” You should feel really sick with yourself...

Well, I don't... The beautiful thing about the Internet is that if you don't like or don't agree with something or someone, you can keep scrolling and carry on with your life without giving it a second thought. It's really a lost art. Thanks for stopping by, sorry you didn't like the video.

@theidahorifelman can you link the sling for me?

[@theidahorifleman]

www.butlercreek.com/slings/featherlight-slings/P2179330.html It is a very comfortable sling, but the way I had it attached to the bipod mount actually caused the pin to fail and come out on me. Other than that, it's fantastic.
