The 16 gauge has earned its reputation as the gentleman's gauge for a reason. It carries like a 20 and hits like a 12, and the Stevens 555 E is one of the few modern over/unders built around it the right way. The receiver is scaled specifically to the gauge, not just a 12 gauge frame with smaller barrels dropped in, so the whole gun stays trim and lively in the hands at right around 6.5 pounds. That lightweight aluminum receiver gets a steel insert reinforcing the breech, keeping the strength where it matters without piling on weight you have to lug through the field all day.
The Enhanced model steps things up noticeably over the standard 555. You get automatic ejectors instead of extractors, which kick spent hulls clear for quick reloads when birds are flushing fast. The silver receiver wears laser-engraved filigree scrollwork, and the Imperial Turkish walnut stock and fore-end with cut checkering give this gun a look that fools people into guessing it costs a lot more than it does. A single selective mechanical trigger lets you pick your barrel, and since it is mechanical rather than inertia driven, the second barrel fires even if the first shell fails to ignite.
The 28-inch chrome-lined barrels wear a vented rib with a bead sight and come threaded for the five included flush choke tubes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That spread covers everything from skeet distances to late-season roosters holding tight cover at range. The 2.75-inch chambers handle the full run of 16 gauge factory loads, and there is a solid selection out there from light target loads to stout pheasant medicine.
Grouse coverts, dove fields, a casual round of sporting clays, this one does it all without complaint. If you have been waiting for a good excuse to join the 16 gauge crowd, the 555 E makes a strong case.
The E stands for Enhanced, and the upgrades are real. The 555 E adds automatic ejectors in place of the standard model's extractors, a nicer grade of Imperial Turkish walnut, and a silver receiver with laser-engraved filigree scrollwork. The core action, chrome-lined barrels, and mechanical trigger are shared across the line.
Yes, and that is a big part of the appeal. The receiver is scaled to the gauge rather than being a 12 gauge frame wearing smaller barrels, which keeps the gun light and quick handling at around 6.45 pounds. That gauge-specific sizing is something a lot of budget doubles skip.
It ships with five flush-fit choke tubes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That range covers everything from close-flushing quail to longer passing shots. Swapping them takes just a minute with a choke wrench.
Yes. The 555 E uses a single selective mechanical trigger rather than an inertia-driven one, so the second barrel does not rely on recoil from the first shot to reset. If a shell fails to ignite, you can still pull through and fire the other barrel, which is a nice bit of insurance in the field.
