The Stevens 555 16 Gauge Over/Under Shotgun (Stevens part no. 22178) is an affordable double for the shooter who still prefers the sixteen. Twenty-eight-inch chrome-lined barrels ride on a lightweight aluminum receiver, and a Turkish walnut stock with a recoil pad finishes the gun. Five choke tubes ship with it, covering everything from close-flushing birds to longer shots. A single selective mechanical trigger and manual extractors keep it simple. It is built for upland hunting and sporting clays.
