Description
There's a reason the 28 gauge has a loyal following among upland hunters and clays regulars, and the Stevens 555 makes a strong case for joining the club. Savage built this one around a lightweight aluminum alloy receiver, and the result is a break-action that tips the scales at just 5.5 pounds. That's the kind of weight you notice at the end of a long day walking hedgerows, and it makes the gun quick to the shoulder when a grouse or quail gets up in a hurry. Pair that handling with the naturally soft recoil of the 28 gauge and you've got a gun that's genuinely pleasant to shoot, whether you're new to the sport or you've been at it for decades.
What the Stevens 555 Brings to the Field
The 26 inch chrome-lined carbon steel barrels wear a vent rib with a bead up front, chambered for 2-3/4 inch shells. A single selective mechanical trigger lets you pick which barrel fires first, and because it's mechanical rather than recoil-operated, the second barrel fires even if the first shell doesn't cycle full recoil, which matters with light sub-gauge loads. The tang-mounted safety sits right under your thumb, and manual extractors lift shells for easy removal so your empties stay in your pocket instead of on the ground.
Walnut Looks Without the Custom Gun Price
The checkered Turkish walnut stock and forend give the 555 a traditional look that punches above its price class, set off nicely against the matte black metalwork. Length of pull runs 14.57 inches, and overall length comes in around 43 inches, so it fits most builds comfortably right out of the box.
Five Chokes, Plenty of Options
Savage includes five interchangeable choke tubes with this gun: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That covers everything from close-flushing woodcock to longer crossing clays, so you can pattern the gun for whatever you're chasing that weekend. For a do-it-all sub-gauge double, the 555 is tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Stevens 555 in 28 gauge weigh?
It comes in right around 5.5 pounds thanks to the aluminum alloy receiver. That's noticeably lighter than most steel-receiver over/unders, which makes it a great pick for long walks in upland cover and easy for smaller-framed or newer shooters to handle comfortably.
What choke tubes come with the Stevens 555 28 gauge?
It ships with five interchangeable choke tubes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That spread covers close-range flushing birds, skeet and sporting clays, and tighter patterns for longer shots, so most folks won't need to buy anything extra to get started.
Does the Stevens 555 have ejectors or extractors?
This model uses manual extractors, which lift the spent shells partway out of the chambers so you can pull them by hand. Plenty of hunters prefer this setup since it keeps your empties from flying into the brush, and it's one less mechanism to worry about over the life of the gun.
Is the Stevens 555 good for sporting clays and skeet, or just hunting?
It does both well. The 26 inch vent rib barrels, single selective mechanical trigger, and mild 28 gauge recoil make it a fun gun on the skeet field and sporting clays course, while the light weight and quick handling really shine on upland birds like quail, dove, and grouse.
