A “Turkish Tikka”- I like that description.
I purchased a Sarsilmaz Sar 9, which was my first experience with a Turkish firearm. The Sar 9 has far exceeded my reliability and accuracy expectations. After my horrible experience with a new Smith and Wesson MP 2 10mm, the Sar 9 has reaffirmed that a properly manufactured firearm can perform as advertised right out of the box. So, the first walnut Turkish Tikka in a 6.5 that I can find, I’ll be a buyer at a $500.00 price point. I am willing to wager that it will make a good reliable range rifle for my grandkids and me. I’ve seen advertised on a website for the synthetic stock version for $296. Since they have none in stock who knows the real price. I’d be willing to waste $400-$425 for a walnuts version .243 one if I can find it.

Apparently the 334 is a ATA Arms Turqua variant. For an entry level rifle, the Turqua has accumulated a lot of positive reviews on the web…

I hope they turn out to be a "Turkish Tikka" and not a "Turkish Rem 783"

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting on a left hand version of this. Savage is good about making LH rifles but so is Weatherby. That doesn't necessarily translate to foreign made, rebadged rifles (Vanguard).
I'm not sure how the nearly 10 lb Bergara HMR fits into this conversation. It may be available left handed but is a different rifle with a different purpose at a much different price point.

https://www.ataarms.com/en/turquaHere ya go. I didn’t see any LH models, but my enthusiasm wasn’t very high either. Rifles actually look better to me than Savages. Looks like you can get some with sights too. The bugaboo for me with all these here-today, gone-tomorrow rifles is magazines. Will they have spares for sale right off, someday, never? What happens when the deal between Savage and ATA is over? Pick a discontinued rifle, any discontinued rifle, then do a search for magazines. If they have them right off, no big deal. Buy some spares (try not to lose them) and soldier on.
What fresh Hell is this?

These are already being imported by Four Peaks. Cheaper Than Dirt shows them as in stock. They're selling them for $600 if someone can't wait for the Stevens badged version.

July 2023 I bought 2 - ATA Turqua Generation2 versions in 243 and 6.5 Creedmoor. I can say now after breaking them in and trying multiple brands and grains of bullets these things are great shooters. Mine are the walnut version with iron Fibre optic sights. 3 lug bolt butter smooth push feed bolt, 60' lift, fabulous fibre sights. 3 position safety. Even comes with 2 mags for gosh sakes. 3 & 5 round. I got them in sale here in Canada for $500 each. They are the best shooters and quality for the money I ever paid. I've never had rifles in 40 years that shoot sub-moa with different brands and weights before. They are a steal. When Savage brings them out buy them. My camp buddy bought the 308 and its the same. Great buys
