Description
A purpose-built trap gun in 20 gauge is a rarer find than it should be, and the Stevens 555 Trap fills that gap nicely. This break action single barrel wears a 30-inch chrome-lined barrel with a raised ventilated rib and bead sight, giving you the long, smooth sighting plane trap games call for. The 3-inch chamber handles a wide range of target loads, and the three included choke tubes in Cylinder, Modified, and Full let you tighten or open your pattern depending on where you're breaking birds.
Built Light, Reinforced Where It Counts
The receiver on the 555 Trap is aluminum alloy scaled specifically to the 20 gauge frame, so you're not lugging around a 12 gauge sized action with a smaller bore. Savage reinforces the breech face with a steel insert, which keeps weight down around 7.3 pounds without giving up strength where the action takes its beating. The silver receiver against the black semi-gloss barrel and oiled walnut makes for a sharp looking gun at the club, too.
A Stock You Can Fit to Yourself
Gun fit matters more in trap than just about any other shotgun game, and the 555 Trap gets that right with an adjustable comb on its oiled Turkish walnut stock. Raise or lower the cheek piece until your eye sits right down the rib and the gun shoots where you look. The 14.75-inch length of pull suits most adult builds, and the ambidextrous stock works from either shoulder. A tang-mounted manual safety and shell extractor round out the controls, keeping operation simple and familiar.
Why the Stevens 555 Trap Earns a Spot in the Rack
Single barrel trap guns keep things uncomplicated: one shot, one bird, full focus on your move to the target. For newer trap shooters, smaller-framed folks, or anyone who wants softer-recoiling 20 gauge practice sessions, this one delivers real trap gun features like the adjustable comb, long rib, and interchangeable chokes without the boutique price tag. It's an easy gun to learn on and a fun one to stick with.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the adjustable comb on the Stevens 555 Trap work?
The comb is a raised cheek piece on the walnut stock that adjusts for height. Setting it correctly puts your eye in line with the rib so the gun points where you're looking, which matters a lot in trap where you're shooting rising targets. It's a feature usually found on much more expensive trap guns.
Is the 555 Trap a good choice for a new trap shooter?
It's one of the better entry points out there. The single shot break action keeps things simple, the 20 gauge chambering means lighter recoil than a 12 gauge over a long practice session, and the adjustable comb teaches proper gun fit from day one. The 30-inch barrel gives you the smooth swing trap rewards.
What choke tubes come with the Stevens 555 Trap 20 gauge?
It ships with three interchangeable screw-in chokes: Cylinder, Modified, and Full. Most trap shooters will start with Modified or Full for standard distances, while Cylinder is handy for close work or casual clays. Having all three lets you experiment and find what patterns best with your favorite target load.
Does this shotgun eject shells or use an extractor?
The 555 Trap uses a manual extractor rather than an ejector. When you break the action open, the spent hull lifts up out of the chamber for you to pluck out by hand. Plenty of trap shooters prefer this since your empties end up in your pocket instead of on the ground.
