Description
There is something satisfying about running a trap line with a dedicated single barrel gun, and the Stevens 555 Trap keeps that tradition alive without the price tag that usually comes with it. This break action 12 gauge wears a 30 inch chrome lined barrel topped with a raised ventilated rib and bead sight, giving you a long, steady sighting plane that helps smooth out your swing on rising birds. The 3 inch chamber handles a wide range of target loads, and the included set of three choke tubes lets you tighten or open your pattern depending on where you are standing.
Built to Fit You, Not the Other Way Around
The Turkish walnut stock and fore-end give this gun a classic look, but the real story is the adjustable comb. Raising or lowering your cheek weld changes where your pattern lands, and being able to fine tune that on a trap gun at this level is a genuinely useful feature. Length of pull sits at 14.57 inches, and the stock is ambidextrous, so left handed folks are not left out. The receiver is a lightweight aluminum alloy finished in semi-gloss silver, reinforced with a steel insert at the breech to keep things strong where it counts.
Why the 555 Trap Makes Sense at the Range
At 7.5 pounds with an overall length of 47.5 inches, this gun carries easily between stations and comes up fast. The tang mounted manual safety falls naturally under your thumb, and the extractor lifts spent hulls clear so you can pluck them out and reload quickly between shots. Feedback from the trap field has been consistently positive, with owners praising how well it points and how quickly new clay busters get comfortable behind it. Whether you are picking up your first dedicated trap gun, outfitting a young competitor for league season, or just want a simple single shot for Sunday practice, the 555 Trap covers the fundamentals and looks good doing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Stevens 555 Trap come with choke tubes?
Yes, it ships with three interchangeable choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Cylinder. For trap work, most folks run the Full or Modified tube depending on whether they shoot from the 16 yard line or handicap distances. Aftermarket extended chokes are also available if you want to experiment with different patterns.
Is the adjustable comb on the 555 Trap easy to set up?
It is a straightforward setup. Loosen the hardware, raise or lower the comb until your eye lines up flat down the rib, then lock it back down. Since trap guns are typically set to shoot a bit high for rising targets, take it to the pattern board and adjust until your point of impact is where you want it.
How does the Stevens 555 Trap eject spent shells?
It uses a manual extractor rather than an auto ejector. When you break the action open, the extractor lifts the spent hull partway out of the chamber so you can pull it free by hand. A lot of trap shooters prefer this since it keeps hulls off the ground and makes saving them for reloading easy.
Is the 555 Trap a good first trap gun?
It is one of the more popular entry points into dedicated trap guns, and owner feedback consistently mentions breaking clays right out of the box. At 7.5 pounds it is lighter than most dedicated trap guns, which makes it easy to carry and swing. Lighter target loads in the 1 oz range keep recoil comfortable through long practice sessions.
