Product Overview

The Savage Arms Stevens 555 E is a 16 gauge over-and-under shotgun built for hunters who want genuine performance without the premium price tag. Model 22179 pairs a lightweight aluminum receiver with a reinforced steel breech insert—a smart engineering move that keeps total weight down to just 6.45 pounds while maintaining the strength needed for reliable, hard-use hunting. This 16 gauge O/U is nimble in brush and timber, responsive to wing shooting, and built on the kind of solid mechanics that have made Stevens a trusted name for generations.

What sets this shotgun apart is the attention to the details that matter. You get a single selective mechanical trigger for crisp, predictable breaks, a tang-mounted safety positioned for fast, intuitive access, and auto ejectors that kick empties clear so you stay focused on the next bird. The 28-inch barrels come chrome-lined and sport a semi-gloss black finish, while the Imperial walnut furniture—stock and fore-end—features an oil finish and hand-rubbed character. A laser-engraved receiver adds visual appeal without fanfare.

Versatility comes standard: five interchangeable choke tubes let you tailor the pattern to your quarry and range. The semi-pistol-grip stock fits ambidextrous shooters, and the 45.28-inch overall length keeps the gun compact enough to maneuver in tight spots. Whether you're hunting upland birds, targeting clay, or just want a reliable 16 gauge that won't wear you out after a long day afield, the Stevens 555 E delivers without apology.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this 16 gauge worth choosing over a 12 or 20?

The 16 gauge sits between a 12 and 20 in recoil and payload, offering a middle ground that many hunters prefer. At 6.45 pounds, the Stevens 555 E is light enough to carry all day yet delivers enough shot charge for upland birds and clay targets. If you grew up on a 16 or simply prefer the classic gauge, this O/U brings modern engineering and quality at a fair price.

What choke tubes come with the shotgun?

Five interchangeable choke tubes are included, giving you the flexibility to adjust your pattern for different hunting scenarios and distances. The specific choke constrictions are not detailed in the product specs; contact Bosque Outdoors for the exact set included.

Is this shotgun suitable for left-handed shooters?

Yes. The tang-mounted safety and ambidextrous semi-pistol-grip stock are designed to accommodate both right- and left-handed shooters comfortably.

How much does the Stevens 555 E weigh, and is it manageable for a full day of hunting?

The shotgun weighs 6.45 pounds, making it one of the lighter over-and-under options in its class. The lightweight aluminum receiver and 28-inch barrel keep it nimble without sacrificing durability, so fatigue shouldn't be an issue on a long hunt.
