Key Features
- Fixed Turkish walnut field stock — WHY IT MATTERS: The dense, straight-grain walnut provides a stable, comfortable cheek weld and natural pointability, reducing fatigue during a long day in the field.
- Lightweight aluminum receiver — WHY IT MATTERS: Shaving nearly a pound off traditional steel receivers makes this 20 gauge easy to carry on walks through brush or while teaching new shooters proper mounting.
- Single selective mechanical trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: You can choose which barrel fires first with a simple selector, and the mechanical design ensures the second barrel will fire even if the first round fails—no reset needed.
- Five interchangeable choke tubes — WHY IT MATTERS: Quickly switch from tight patterns for turkeys to open spreads for close-flushing quail, all without changing guns or tools.
- 3-inch chamber, two-round capacity — WHY IT MATTERS: The 3-inch chamber lets you shoot standard 2¾-inch target loads or magnum 3-inch shells for larger game, giving flexibility for different seasons.
Who It’s For
The Stevens 555 is built for families, youth shooters, and beginners who want an affordable over/under without sacrificing reliability. It works well for clay sports like trap and skeet, upland bird hunting, and as a first double gun for a new shooter. The lightweight design and single trigger make it easier for smaller-framed shooters to handle and learn proper gun mount.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at 6.2 pounds; Turkish walnut stock looks great; five choke tubes included; mechanical trigger fires second barrel even if first round fails; affordable price point under $800.
- Cons: The checkering on the stock is minimal and can feel slick with wet hands; the blued finish may show wear faster than a matte cerakote option. An honest drawback: the forend fit on some examples can be slightly loose—easily tightened by a gunsmith but worth checking before use.
