The Savage 334 .223 Remington is a budget-minded bolt-action rifle with a black synthetic stock and a 20-inch heavy sporter barrel (Savage part no. 22138). Savage built the Model 334 around a crisp trigger and a short 60-degree bolt lift, which makes follow-up shots quicker than on many rifles at this level. The barrel is free-floating and button rifled for consistent accuracy, and the receiver carries a steel Picatinny rail so an optic goes on without extra hardware. In .223 Remington it is a sensible choice for varmint and predator hunting, and for anyone who wants a light-recoiling centerfire to learn on.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is .223 Remington, a flat-shooting, low-recoil cartridge that is inexpensive to shoot and well suited to varmints and predators.
• Barrel length is 20 inches in a heavy sporter contour, which adds steadiness on the bench without making the rifle awkward to carry.
• Rate of twist is 1:9 inch, a rate that stabilizes the common bullet weights loaded for the .223 Remington.
• The barrel is free-floating, button-rifled carbon steel with a matte finish and an 11-degree target crown, details that protect accuracy and the muzzle.
• Feeding is from a 3-round detachable box magazine, and one magazine is included with the rifle.
• The stock is a black matte synthetic sporter with a recoil pad and a 14.5-inch length of pull, which resists weather and handling wear.
• A steel MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail is mounted to the matte black carbon steel receiver, and no scope is mounted from the factory.
• The trigger breaks between 5 and 7 pounds, a range that Savage sets for field use.
• Overall length is 41 inches and weight is 7.2 pounds, a balanced size for a full-length hunting rifle.
