Expert review
About this product
The Stevens 334 270 Win 20" Camo Bolt Action Rifle is a purpose-built hunting rifle chambered in .270 Winchester with a 20-inch free-floating barrel and Mossy Oak Terra Gila synthetic stock. It features a drilled and tapped receiver with Picatinny rail, 3-round detachable magazine, and weighs 7.2 lbs at 41.25 inches overall length. This configuration prioritizes maneuverability in dense cover while maintaining effective .270 Win ballistics out to 400 yards.
What is the Stevens 334 270 Win 20" Camo Bolt Action Rifle used for?
This rifle is designed for hunters who need a compact, weather-resistant platform for medium game in thick terrain. The 20-inch barrel sacrifices minimal velocity (approximately 150 fps compared to 24" barrels) while providing superior handling in blinds, thickets, or mountainous country. I'd deploy this specifically for whitetail in hardwood forests or elk in timber where shots rarely exceed 300 yards.
How does the Stevens 334 compare to the Ruger American Predator?
The Stevens 334 delivers better out-of-the-box accessory readiness with its pre-installed Picatinny rail, while the Ruger American Predator requires separate base purchase. Ruger's action tends to be smoother from factory, but the Stevens' 60-degree bolt lift and 3-position safety match higher-priced competitors. For the price, the Stevens provides more complete hunting readiness, though both shoot sub-MOA with handloads.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 7.2 pounds (3.27 kg) unloaded and measures 41.25 inches (104.8 cm) overall with its 20-inch (50.8 cm) barrel. The synthetic stock contributes to the light weight while maintaining rigidity, and the 1:10" twist rate stabilizes 130-150 grain bullets optimally. Compared to our Stevens 334 in .308 Win, it's identical in dimensions but differs in chambering.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for long-range precision shooters needing heavy barrels or target triggers. The lightweight sporter barrel heats quickly after 3-4 rounds, impacting consistency for extended range sessions. Left-handed shooters should avoid it due to right-hand-only bolt configuration, and those wanting higher capacity should look at aftermarket options since the factory magazine holds only 3 rounds.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with installed Picatinny rail, one 3-round detachable magazine, and owner's manual. No optic, rings, or cleaning kit is included—plan $150-300 additional for mounting hardware and optics. The receiver comes pre-drilled for Savage 110 pattern bases if you prefer traditional mounts over the Picatinny rail.
Is the Stevens 334 worth it at $397.99?
At $397.99, this rifle delivers exceptional value for hunters needing a reliable, optics-ready platform without custom gunsmithing. The Cerakote finish and synthetic stock withstand harsh conditions better than blued steel and walnut at this price point. Compared to the Stevens 555 shotgun, this rifle fills the dedicated big-game role more effectively for continental North American hunting.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Savage 110 scope mounts?
- Yes, the receiver uses Savage 110 spacing for scope bases. I recommend EGW or Warne bases for maximum stability. The included Picatinny rail provides immediate optic mounting without additional purchases.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- It requires a 42-inch case minimum. I use Plano All-Weather cases for transport. The overall length is 41.25 inches, so most standard cases accommodate it with room for accessories.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments take 3-5 business days via FedEx. We ship within 24 hours of cleared payment. All firearms require transfer through a licensed dealer per ATF regulations.
- Can I return it if it doesn't cycle properly?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for manufacturing defects. We test fire every rifle before shipment. Most cycling issues are ammunition-related—try Federal Premium 130 grain before initiating return.
- Does this work with SilencerCo suppressors?
- Yes, with appropriate threading. The barrel has ½x28 threads under the thread protector. You'll need a muzzle device compatible with your suppressor model. Always check concentricity before firing suppressed.
