Stevens 334 at the Range
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2025 7:58 pm
Well, I finally got to the range, with a Stevens 334 in 308 that I picked up, a few months ago. My wife bought my a scope, a couple on Christmases ago, which I did not have a rifle that I wanted to put it on. I had been thinking about a cheap bolt-action rifle in 308. I wanted a wooden stock. So, I bought a Stevens to put the scope on.
Overall, I like the rifle and scope. Initially, the rounds seem to chamber a little rough. After smoothing the mouth of the plastic magazine some, the rounds chambered smoothly.
I started at the 25 yards range, moved to the 50 yards range and ended at the 100 yards range. So far, I am happy with the results. Yet, I think that I will use a different target and go the 200 yards range.
Below are a couple of targets. Because a club member left me a used target at the 50 yards range to use, I did not keep the target.
