There is something special about a 28 gauge over/under that fits right, and the Stevens 555 Compact nails that feel without the price tag usually attached to a scaled double gun. Savage builds this one on a receiver sized specifically to the 28 gauge, not a bigger frame with small barrels dropped on, so the balance lands between your hands where it belongs. The result is a gun that comes up to the shoulder fast, swings light, and weighs in around 5 pounds, which your arms will appreciate after a full day walking hedgerows.
The Compact version trims the length of pull to 13.25 inches and pairs it with a mid-length forearm, which makes it a natural fit for youth hunters, smaller-statured adults, and anyone who finds standard stocks a bit long. Everything else stays true to the regular 555. You get an oiled Turkish walnut stock and forearm, a single selective mechanical trigger, shell extractors, a tang-mounted manual safety, and a brass bead out front on the vent rib. The lightweight aluminum receiver carries a steel insert reinforcing the breech, so you keep the strength where it matters while shedding the heft of an all-steel frame.
The 24 inch chrome-lined barrels wear a black semi-gloss finish and accept the five included choke tubes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That spread covers tight-flushing woodcock cover all the way out to longer crossing shots on clays, and the 2.75 inch chambers handle the full range of standard 28 gauge loads.
A lot of folks buy this gun for a kid getting started on doubles, then end up borrowing it themselves. The 28 gauge is famously easy on the shoulder, patterns beautifully, and the short, light setup makes it a joy in thick upland cover. If you have been wanting a proper stack-barrel that fits shorter arms and does not weigh you down, this one is tough to beat.
Yes, and that matters more than people think. Rather than hanging small barrels on a 12 or 20 gauge frame, Savage builds the 555 on a gauge-specific receiver, so the 28 gauge version is genuinely trim and balances properly. It is a big part of why this gun feels so lively at around 5 pounds.
This model uses shell extractors, which lift the hulls up out of the chambers so you can pluck them out by hand. Ejectors that kick empties clear are reserved for the pricier 555 Enhanced line. Plenty of upland hunters prefer extractors anyway since your empties end up in your vest pocket instead of the brush.
The 13.25 inch length of pull and mid-length forearm are sized for youth hunters, smaller-framed adults, and anyone who shoots better with a shorter stock. Pair that with the soft-recoiling 28 gauge and it makes a great first double gun. That said, plenty of full-sized folks pick one up simply because it is such a light, quick-pointing field gun.
With five chokes running from Cylinder to Full, it covers quail, dove, grouse, woodcock, and preserve pheasant, plus skeet and casual sporting clays. The 2.75 inch chambers handle all standard 28 gauge loads. It is best suited to upland work and clays rather than waterfowl duty.
