The trigger is adjustable, however the adjustment screw on these rifles is ground flat for whatever reason. Have it replaced and you can get the trigger to 3 pounds
From an appearance standpoint it looks way better than most all of the US made budget friendly rifles. Nobody wants to carry around an ugly rifle. Savage is one of the worst in my opinion. Their bolt being bobbed off on the rear looks really weird and I never liked it. I like the way the Stevens bolt is done at the back. The wood on that example is also awesome looking. I can't imagine all of them will look as good as that one. That being said if the accuracy turns out to be reasonably accurate I would buy the Stevens over any of the other budget brands.
Agreed indeed. Savage has long been known for utilitarian looking rifles. This one is a move in the right direction. While I haven't seen any others up close I doubt the wood on the average example looks this good. Thanks again for sharing 👍
Lucky for me I like an accurate rifle over a beautiful one. I'd rather have 5 accurate rifles over one that looks good. (Oh wait, that's todays' society).
I love when products like this come out. Made by Savage, button rifled barrel, and from the look of the reviews it's very accurate 👍 look at the stock on this rifle, Turkish Walnut is just beautiful 😊!
Ehm it's not made by Savage....it's made in Turkey the original model is known as ATA Turqua. It's imported to US by Savage and sold under the brand name Stevens. Similarly in Europe its sold under the brand name Brenner.
Hey Jay, I have one, take a closer look at the trigger assembly. I hunted with mine this season and will only chamber a round when I intend to pull the trigger now.
For a $400.00 rifle there's a lot to like here. The Turkish walnut stock has incredible figure. The removable mag is another + on a budget priced rifle. With loads it prefers it shoots MOA or very near MOA. It's trigger needs work and its a little heavy but if it becomes popular there will be aftermarket items available for things such as the trigger, stocks, etc.
I think this one is a real gem, and I hope its popularity blossoms. I'm actually playing around with the trigger this morning. Updates will soon follow! Thanks for watching 👍
In Germany we get this rifle branded as a ,,Brenner". We get two magazines included ( three shoot and five), a threaded muzzle and a rifle suitcase. The Trigger is AJUSTIBLE!! It has a match trigger - so it has a little bit way to the trigerpull. ( Sorry for my bad english!!) Greetings and cheers frombGermany🍀👋🏻🌿 p.s. i own the Brenner aka Ata with a thumbhole-stock.... This rifle iss brillant for the buck and shoots well - espeacially with 165 grain emmunition😉
Thanks for sharing and watching all the way from Germany👍 I cracked it open the other day and got the trigger adjusted down to a crisp 2.5-3 pounds. At present Savage is only importing these in .308, .243 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Also not options like threaded Muzzle etc as of yet. Hopefully their popularity will drive increased availabilities.
@@JayLewisFarmStyle.. thats why we get this rifle only in .308 in Germany ! 🤷🏻♂️ Cheers an greetings from the black forest region (southern germany)👋🏻🌿 and waidmannsheil🌿
We need to lobby Savage for some five round magazines. Wish they had left the super lock tite out of the trigger adjusting screw. Mine is going to take some heat to break loose.
Great review, and video quality! Earned a sub 👍🏻I picked one of these up the other day in 6.5 with the synthetic stock. Haven’t got to shoot it yet but it’s pretty damn heavy duty compared to others in its price point. The stock is a lot more ridged than the others I looked at (even more expensive ones). My trigger feels a little lighter but I don’t have a gauge, my friend I’m going shooting with has one so I will test it then. The 2 stage trigger feels good, i like the creep and break, the break is just heavy. I’ve seen someone say they had theirs adjusted by a gun smith. I’ve read the procedures from ata, cleaned the goop of the adjustment screw. Might try messing with it once scale is available.
So are the reviews show that this does have an adjustable trigger with a hole in the bottom of the trigger guard for a screwdriver. Could you attempt to adjust the trigger and then do another video?
ATA Turqua rifles do have an adjustable trigger (accessible through the hole in the trigger guard). Savage for whatever reason ordered these rifle with the adjustment screw ground off and glued in place with epoxy. We did a trigger "fix" video on this rifle. It is on our Rumble channel as YT doesn't allow modification videos. Here's the link to that: rumble.com/v49ysq6-making-the-stevens-334-better-with-a-free-diy-trigger-job.html In a nutshell it's not the preferred method but it works and appears safe so long as you don't overdo it.
Sorry our free internet content isn't up to your standards. Neat thing about TH-cam is anyone with a camera can do it. Why don't you go make your own video so it is more to your liking. Thanks for watching 👍
For what it's worth, I picked up mine 1/8/ 2024 and promptly got to the trigger. I think they have gotten wise to the mod because the adj screw on mine was locked in with something tough (Epoxy I think). Even with the perfect fitting screwdriver tip it is going to break one side if the screw top. I even tried heat from 45w soldering iron and no go.
So you are not wrong. I actually did a Rumble video last week on the trigger adjustment which I "successfully completed" based on what some other folks on the internet had done. While the trigger pull now is very light and crisp it came at the cost of the reliable function of the 3 position safety. Until I can revise that video and at least put a disclaimer in it I took it down. While I am personally content with the rifle functioning without a manual safety as I seldom ever use one to begin with, I want to mess around with it a little more and see if I can get it tuned without compromising the safety. Thanks for sharing 👍
It was the wood stock that first got my attention. Mine looks great, but I have to admit, yours has mine beat. I wanted 6.5, but .308 is all that's carried at Academy and I didn't want to take a chance on bad looking wood. Not too bad, I must say. I love that the shooting tables on our rifle range are concrete.
Thanks, I think I got pretty lucky on the wood. Who_Tee_Who got ahold of a 6.5 with decent wood that printed a .03" group the other day. This one hasn't done that well yet. I'm going to be putting out a follow-up range review video after doing the trigger tune. That will be out in a day or two. I hope you'll stay tuned. Thanks for sharing 👍
Trigger pull aside, it's probably the nicest rifle in terms of pretty in the past few years. I hope the aftermarket will develop a good trigger option. We did a "trigger job" on this one and documented it here and on Rumble. I don't recommend the process we used to anyone that isn't extremely committed to safety and testing. We've done a few videos on this rifle since this production, and have obtained .3" groups with premium factory ammo. I hope you get one and keep watching our nonsense! Thanks for watching 👍
We got ours tuned down really good as well, however I'm interested in how you adjusted yours and if it affected the mechanical operation of the safety? I actually did a Rumble video 2 weeks ago on the trigger adjustment which I "successfully completed" based on what some other folks on the internet had done.

@@JayLewisFarmStyle Very simply, not wanting a featherweight trigger, I removed the stock, accessed the trigger spring tension screw or bolt, backed it off to the hilt, dry tested it, replaced the stock, and tightened all relevant fittings. Then, took it to the range. The trigger pull weight was acceptable, especially compared to the factory setting. That was good enough for me, especially not wanting a super light target match grade bench queen. That's all. Nothing esoteric.
It's beautiful and you shot sub moa groups. Abd you got it for $399 Miricle.. Onlt one pounf heavier than the Waypoint And $2000 less. Anf the Waypoint could only get 2,0 moa groups, just watched it.
ATA does make 5 round magazine which I've seen on the foreign market, but I haven't seen any here yet. That will probably eventually change. While I haven't tried it, I don't think an AICS magazine will fit, but it would be cool if they did.
Scope height preference is generally pretty subjective, and as such ultimately depends on end user preference. As a matter of fact we covered scope height in the separate scope reviews that we for the optics on this rifle on the channel this past week. Here's the link to that: th-cam.com/video/ARKnrsLmVjg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xtsk2mzwiGzV5CPd the comment about scope height is at the 6 minute 45 second mark of that video. Both optics tested on this rifle were mounted in medium rings which are pretty much industry standard for a 40mm scope, particularly on rifles with heavier barrels. www.weaveroptics.com/weaveroptics-learn/top-mount-height-guide.html www.midwayusa.com/how-to-guides/ring-height Thanks for watching 👍
Yes. It is personal preference, but it may be something to consider with this model because if the comb is too low, you may need a cheek riser and that would take away from that beautiful wood stock.
I agree, the trigger is horrible and even after taking it down to 4.5lbs and making sure the safety works, it is still bad. Triggers should break at a crisp 3lbs for hunting. We need an after market trigger for this gem of a rifle.
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.”
I don't doubt it. Crazy part is that doesn't even begin to cover the mistreatment of religious minorities that occurs in Turkey. Amnesty International gave China the lowest possible rating for human rights violations over their persecution of the Uyghurs, Kazakhs and other minority groups. Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, (Insert random central American country) all over the globe to include the US of A injustice is a very real deal. How is this relevant to the discussion of a Turkish made rifle you might ask? I just took the Chinese made Otterbox cover off of my Vietnamese made Samsung Galaxy to check the country of origin while replying to your message. Where was the device you used produced? What crimes against humanity is that country known for? The moral high road is often a slippery slope. Thanks for sharing 👍
If they ever make a long action version, I'd like one in 30-06. I took this gun out the other day and it performed very well. Here's the video: th-cam.com/video/ELkVFWhUjsg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3nGJ9wFOJwkg7dD8
At present Savage is only importing these in .308, .243 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Also not options like threaded Muzzle etc as of yet. Hopefully their popularity will drive increased availabilities.

Agreed, he's a great guy! That being said, I did a bunch of research on this rifle before filming the review, and saw 4 videos that were nothing more than "Hey look at the pretty box it comes in!" that were between 10-20 minutes long (To his credit Adam's was only 10 minutes). I'm talking about introductory videos with no shooting data whatsoever. It's one thing to run a 2 minutes sneak peak, but 20 minutes talking about specifications is a bit much. Thanks for watching 👍
I would have already bought one if I could have got my mitts on it. I have not seen any in my local area as of yet, and after perusing the urine scented back alleys that are gunbroker I decided I was not willing to pay a premium just to be the first kid on the block to review one.
@@JayLewisFarmStyle I saw a 223 at academy here in Louisiana but I want a 7mm-08 or .308 in the gen 2 standard and either 6.5cm or 6mm ARC in the gen 2 ranch
I was after a 243 for the kids for Christmas. That was what the Crimson Trace Brushline BDC was supposed to go on. Plans changed but I'm still looking for that 243 gen 2.
I would hope that once the new wears off replacement/ extra mags will be available. In the meantime don't lose the one it came with. Thanks for watching 👍
He was shooting a 7" AR with a muzzle brake! The blast was rattling the whole bench. I bet he ran through 250-300 rounds. He's bound to have hit something! I was trying to time my shots in between his but that only partially worked. Thanks for watching 👍
@@JayLewisFarmStyle They should only allow those guys a minimum of 1 empty bench away from everyone else. Theyre simply obnoxious to shoot next to. The blast from the muzzle breaks is terrible even when you put on double hearing protection
@@JayLewisFarmStyle I didn’t have a blast diverted so I threw a brake on a 10.5 pistol. That came off after 5 rounds and the headache it gave me. Almost had to leave the range that day. And I was the one shooting The fact he shot that much with a 7. I can only imagine
I am admitting dinosaur era. However this looks to my eyes, a 1970s era a sporter Wichita 1250 or 1375 repeater, but a detachable magazine. This Steven's rifle will wipe out the Savage Axis. And rightly so.
@JayLewisFarmStyle So true. I think it did the 308 an injustice. Not like there is a whole lot of options available for a lighter bullet, which I believe would improve the accuracy of a 1/11 twist. Reminds me of Remington s mistake with 1/12 for the 244.
I don't know if you've seen it but we've got a video on Remington's (too little too late) 6mm. The 244/6mm was ballistically superior to the 243, but the 1:12 on the original 244 killed it for popularity.
@@JayLewisFarmStyle yea if u look it up on sportmans warehouse where i bought mine and scroll down it says 1/10 i could be wrong but most 30 cal guns are 1/10 so idk why savage says 1/11 thats just weird
Imagine what it could do if the trigger didn't suck! We just did some hackery on it yesterday. Due to TH-cam's rules on mods we only posted it on Rumble. Here's the link: rumble.com/v44k856-making-the-stevens-334-better-with-a-free-diy-trigger-job.html

@WillyG3234 thanks for watching 👍
Got one otw in black synthetic and 243..
Thanks for sharing 👍
Do they come in 450bushmaster
At present Savage is only importing these in .308, .243 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Also not options like threaded Muzzle etc as of yet. Hopefully their popularity will drive increased availabilities.
These stocks remind me of the Hatfield shotguns that came from Turkey. Good wood work come from the turkish
Thanks for sharing 👍
I've seen them the stocks are way better than the wood stocks on the Mossberg models. My opion.
Can you list all the calibers available
👍
yea my trigger was way too heavy, adjusted down too 3 1/2
Take a look at this and see if we used the same method. It's a Rumble video because TH-cam hates mods.

@@JayLewisFarmStyle i actually took mine too a friend thats a gunsmith he charged me 25.00 mine is good now
Mines 3 pounds pretty nice trigger on mine
Thanks for watching 👍
Sounds like a shot at Adam from who tee who, he’s such a nice dude
Agreed, he's a great guy!
That being said, I did a bunch of research on this rifle before filming the review, and saw 4 videos that were nothing more than "Hey look at the pretty box it comes in!" that were between 10-20 minutes long (To his credit Adam's was only 10 minutes).
I'm talking about introductory videos with no shooting data whatsoever.
It's one thing to run a 2 minutes sneak peak, but 20 minutes talking about specifications is a bit much.
Thanks for watching 👍
@@JayLewisFarmStyle I hear ya, any plans on reviewing a ruger American gen 2?
I would have already bought one if I could have got my mitts on it. I have not seen any in my local area as of yet, and after perusing the urine scented back alleys that are gunbroker I decided I was not willing to pay a premium just to be the first kid on the block to review one.
@@JayLewisFarmStyle I saw a 223 at academy here in Louisiana but I want a 7mm-08 or .308 in the gen 2 standard and either 6.5cm or 6mm ARC in the gen 2 ranch
I was after a 243 for the kids for Christmas. That was what the Crimson Trace Brushline BDC was supposed to go on.
Plans changed but I'm still looking for that 243 gen 2.
If you are thinking about buying one of these 334s, try to get an extra mag, good luck, I have the 308, NO ONE has an extra mag. Not even Savage.
I would hope that once the new wears off replacement/ extra mags will be available. In the meantime don't lose the one it came with.
Thanks for watching 👍
The reviews are getting more numerous.
Thanks for watching 👍
Crispy
Thanks for watching 👍
I wonder if that guy next to was even hitting anything
He was shooting a 7" AR with a muzzle brake! The blast was rattling the whole bench. I bet he ran through 250-300 rounds. He's bound to have hit something!
I was trying to time my shots in between his but that only partially worked.
Thanks for watching 👍
@@JayLewisFarmStyle They should only allow those guys a minimum of 1 empty bench away from everyone else. Theyre simply obnoxious to shoot next to. The blast from the muzzle breaks is terrible even when you put on double hearing protection
@@JayLewisFarmStyle I didn’t have a blast diverted so I threw a brake on a 10.5 pistol. That came off after 5 rounds and the headache it gave me. Almost had to leave the range that day. And I was the one shooting
The fact he shot that much with a 7. I can only imagine
Just to think, why isn't that built at home, in the land of the free?
Thanks for watching.
I am admitting dinosaur era. However this looks to my eyes, a 1970s era a sporter Wichita 1250 or 1375 repeater, but a detachable magazine. This Steven's rifle will wipe out the Savage Axis. And rightly so.
It's a beautiful rifle and has an appeal to the traditionalist that the Axis will never draw.
Scratching my head as to why they chose 1/11 twist. Makes no sense.
I have no idea. They went with conventional twist rates for the 243 (1:10) and 6.5 Creedmoor (1:8)
@JayLewisFarmStyle
So true. I think it did the 308 an injustice. Not like there is a whole lot of options available for a lighter bullet, which I believe would improve the accuracy of a 1/11 twist. Reminds me of Remington s mistake with 1/12 for the 244.
I don't know if you've seen it but we've got a video on Remington's (too little too late) 6mm. The 244/6mm was ballistically superior to the 243, but the 1:12 on the original 244 killed it for popularity.
wow, I feel cheated my Stevens 334 isn't as pretty
Thanks, it's a really pretty stock. I kinda feel like I got lucky with this one.
rate of twist is 1/10 though
You would think however Savage's website lists it as a 1:11 in the specs. savagearms.com/content?p=firearms&a=product_summary&s=18838
@@JayLewisFarmStyle yea if u look it up on sportmans warehouse where i bought mine and scroll down it says 1/10 i could be wrong but most 30 cal guns are 1/10 so idk why savage says 1/11 thats just weird
I will check the twist rate in the near future and post it in a viewer feedback segment.
Trigger sucks, gets .75 group😅.
Imagine what it could do if the trigger didn't suck!
We just did some hackery on it yesterday. Due to TH-cam's rules on mods we only posted it on Rumble.
