Stevens Model 334 6.5 Creedmoor 22in Black Synthetic

The Stevens Model 334 6.5 Creedmoor 22in Black Synthetic is a production-grade bolt-action rifle that delivers sub-MOA capability straight from the box without requiring a second mortgage. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22-inch free-floating, button-rifled barrel, this rig pairs a black synthetic ergonomic stock with a drilled-and-tapped receiver and a 3-round detachable box magazine. The action features a 60-degree bolt lift and a 2-stage adjustable trigger, making it a viable option for disciplined hunting and precision field shooting where consistent accuracy and reliable feeding are priorities. According to Savage Arms (Stevens’ parent company) specs, the barrel is button-rifled to ensure consistent bore dimensions, and the free-floating design prevents stock contact that could throw shots off at distance.

Key Features

• Free-floating button-rifled barrel: Why it matters: No barrel-to-stock contact means consistent harmonics shot after shot, and button rifling produces uniform grooves for better bullet stabilization at 600+ yards.
• 60-degree bolt lift: Why it matters: Shorter bolt throw clears low-mounted scopes and allows faster cycling for follow-up shots on moving game or multiple targets.
• 2-stage adjustable trigger: Why it matters: You can dial the first-stage take-up and second-stage break weight to match your preference—lighter for precision, heavier for field safety.
• Drilled-and-tapped receiver: Why it matters: No gunsmith required to mount a rail or rings—mount your optic directly and maintain zero retention.
• Ergonomic synthetic stock with recoil pad: Why it matters: The stock geometry reduces felt recoil and keeps your cheek weld consistent during extended range sessions or cold-weather hunts.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the budget-conscious long-range shooter who refuses to compromise on accuracy. It fits the hunter who needs a reliable 6.5 Creedmoor platform for deer, antelope, or coyote at moderate distances, and the precision shooter who wants a starter rig that can hold its own at 800 yards without needing immediate upgrades.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy potential out of the box—verified by multiple third-party testers at 100 yards.
• Pro: Under $400 price point makes it one of the most affordable 6.5 Creedmoor bolt guns with a free-floated barrel.
• Con: The factory trigger, while adjustable, has a gritty feel out of the box that benefits from a $35 Timney replacement for competition-level smoothness.
