The Stevens 555 Compact delivers reliable over/under performance in a youth-friendly 410 gauge configuration. This shotgun bridges the gap between entry-level training firearms and serious field guns with its shortened length of pull and manageable recoil characteristics.
What Makes This Different
The 555 Compact features a 13-inch length of pull compared to standard 14.25-inch measurements, making it accessible for smaller-framed shooters without sacrificing adult-quality construction. The lightweight aluminum receiver reduces overall weight to approximately 5.5 pounds while maintaining structural integrity for consistent 410 gauge performance. Turkish walnut stock provides traditional aesthetics with modern manufacturing precision.
Key Features
- Compact 13" length of pull ideal for youth and smaller-statured shooters
- 24" ventilated rib barrels with 3" chamber capacity for versatile load options
- Lightweight aluminum receiver with black anodized finish
- Turkish walnut stock with semi-gloss oil finish and ambidextrous design

Field performance centers on the 410 gauge's reduced recoil and lighter shot charges, making this configuration suitable for small game hunting, clay target introduction, and training applications. The over/under design allows for different choke combinations between barrels, enabling versatility from tight patterns for distant targets to open spreads for close-range opportunities. Weather-resistant finishes handle typical outdoor conditions without premature wear.
