The Savage Arms Model 334 Compact Bolt-Action Rifle bridges classic craftsmanship with exceptional value, purpose-built as a nimble, quick-handling platform for varmint hunting and target shooting. Chambered in the popular and flat-shooting .223 Remington cartridge, this compact variant trades a full-length profile for a beautiful, oil-finished natural Turkish Walnut sporter stock accented by an elegant silver bolt. Despite its shorter profile, accuracy remains uncompromising thanks to a free-floating, button-rifled 18.5-inch heavy sporter carbon-steel barrel engineered with an 11-degree target crown and a 1:9 twist rate, perfectly calibrated to stabilize a wide range of .223 projectiles. Cyclic operation is notably slick and rapid, utilizing a full-diameter, three-locking-lug bolt with an efficient 60-degree bolt lift that maximizes hand clearance away from your optics setup. Ready for an immediate glass upgrade, the rifle features a factory-installed steel MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail, a single-stack 3-round detachable box magazine, and a secure 3-position safety mechanism.
