The Stevens 555 16 Gauge over/under shotgun delivers reliable dual-barrel performance for upland hunting and clay sports. This Turkish-manufactured platform combines traditional styling with modern manufacturing precision at an accessible price point.
What Makes This Different
The Stevens 555 features a mechanical trigger system that automatically switches between barrels, eliminating the complexity found in many budget over/unders. The extractors pull spent shells partially from chambers for easy removal, while the tang-mounted barrel selector provides quick switching between modified and improved cylinder chokes. Turkish walnut stocks receive a semi-gloss oil finish that resists moisture while maintaining the classic appearance hunters prefer.
Key Features
- 16 gauge chambered for 3-inch shells with dual firing capability
- 28-inch chrome-lined barrels with 5 interchangeable choke tubes included
- Turkish walnut stock with semi-gloss oil finish and ambidextrous design
- Mechanical trigger system with automatic barrel selection

Field performance centers on the 16 gauge's balanced power-to-recoil ratio, delivering effective patterns on pheasant, grouse, and dove while remaining manageable for extended shooting sessions. The 28-inch barrel length provides excellent swing dynamics for crossing shots while maintaining enough velocity for longer range opportunities. Chrome-lined bores resist corrosion in wet conditions and maintain consistent patterns through thousands of rounds.
