Frequently Asked Questions

What choke tubes are compatible with the Stevens 555 Enhanced 16 Gauge?

The Stevens 555 Enhanced comes with five interchangeable choke tubes designed specifically for the 555 series. These are proprietary Stevens choke tubes, so it is important to verify compatibility before purchasing aftermarket options. The included tubes typically cover a range of constrictions — Cylinder, Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full — making the shotgun versatile for everything from close-flushing upland birds to longer crossers on the sporting clays course.

Is the Stevens 555 Enhanced a good choice for hunting upland birds with 16 Gauge loads?

Absolutely. The 16 gauge occupies a sweet spot between the 12 and 20 gauge, offering excellent pattern density with reduced recoil — making it a favorite among traditional upland hunters. The 28-inch barrel length promotes a smooth, consistent swing on moving birds, and the lightweight aluminum receiver keeps carry weight manageable during long days in the field. Paired with quality 16 gauge field loads in No. 5 or No. 6 shot, this shotgun is an excellent performer on pheasant, quail, woodcock, and grouse.

How does the auto ejector differ from a simple extractor on this shotgun?

An automatic ejector actively ejects fired shells clear of the chamber when you open the action, while a basic extractor only partially lifts the shell for manual removal. The auto ejector on the Stevens 555 Enhanced speeds up your reload significantly — a meaningful advantage when hunting fast-flushing birds or shooting timed sporting clays rounds. Unfired shells in the chamber are typically only extracted (not ejected), helping prevent accidentally throwing live rounds onto the ground.
