$437.09
The Stevens Model 334 6.5 Creedmoor 22in Black Synthetic delivers sub-MOA accuracy at a price that leaves room for quality glass. With a free-floated button-rifled barrel, 60-degree bolt lift, and adjustable 2-stage trigger, this rifle is ready for precision field shooting and disciplined hunting right out of the box.
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.

FAQ
What scope mounts work with the Stevens Model 334 receiver?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard #8-40 screws, compatible with most 0 MOA or 20 MOA Picatinny rails from brands like EGW or Warne. Use low or medium rings for a 40mm objective scope.
Can this rifle handle heavy 6.5 Creedmoor loads (147 grain ELD-M)?
Yes. The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes bullets from 120 to 147 grains. The 147-grain ELD-M is a common match load that groups well in this barrel.
Is the stock compatible with aftermarket chassis systems?
Not directly. The Model 334 uses a proprietary stock inlet. However, you can upgrade to a Boyd’s or MDT chassis that specifically lists Model 334 compatibility.
How do I adjust the 2-stage trigger?
Remove the stock, locate the two adjustment screws on the trigger housing: one for first-stage pull weight and one for second-stage sear engagement. Turn clockwise to increase weight, counterclockwise to decrease. Start at 3 lbs total for hunting.
