The Savage Arms Model 334 Compact Bolt-Action Rifle masterfully balances a traditional aesthetic profile with excellent modern handling, delivering a quick-pointing, versatile platform built for tracking large game. Chambered in the legendary and hard-hitting .308 Winchester, this compact rifle swaps utilitarian polymer for a beautiful, oil-finished natural Turkish Walnut sporter stock accented by a striking silver bolt mechanism. Downrange predictability is anchored by a free-floating, button-rifled 18.5-inch heavy sporter carbon-steel barrel constructed with an 11-degree target crown and a 1:11 twist rate optimized for stabilizing a massive range of medium to heavy-weight .308 bullets. Cyclic operation is remarkably rapid and effortless, operating on a robust three-locking-lug bolt that features an efficient 60-degree bolt lift to guarantee maximum hand clearance away from your optic setup. Ready to mount your choice of hunting glass right out of the box, the rifle features a factory-installed steel MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail, a single-stack 3-round detachable box magazine for fast reloading, and a secure 3-position safety system.
