Frequently Asked Questions
What type of ammunition is the Stevens 555 16-gauge compatible with?
The Stevens 555 in 16 gauge is chambered for standard 2¾-inch shells, accepting a wide range of field loads, target loads, and steel shot for waterfowl when appropriate chokes are used. Always verify choke and load compatibility before shooting non-toxic or heavy payloads, and consult the owner's manual for specific ammunition guidance.
Does the Stevens 555 come with interchangeable choke tubes?
Yes, the Stevens 555 typically ships with three interchangeable choke tubes — Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full — giving you the flexibility to optimize your pattern for different game birds, distances, and shooting disciplines without purchasing additional accessories.
How does the 16-gauge Stevens 555 compare to the 12-gauge version for upland hunting?
The 16-gauge strikes a sweet spot between the hard-hitting 12-gauge and the lighter 20-gauge, offering excellent pattern density with noticeably less recoil and a slimmer, more elegant receiver profile. For upland hunters targeting pheasant, grouse, or quail at moderate ranges, the 16-gauge 555 provides outstanding balance and handling speed that makes a full day in the field far more enjoyable.
