Frequently Asked Questions
What choke tubes are included with the Stevens 555 Compact, and what gauges are compatible?
The Stevens 555 Compact comes with five interchangeable choke tubes — typically Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder — covering everything from tight long-range patterns to wide open spreads for close flushes. These chokes are designed specifically for the 555 series in 20 gauge, so always verify compatibility before using third-party tubes.
Is the Stevens 555 Compact suitable for 3-inch magnum shells?
Yes, the Stevens 555 Compact is chambered for 3-inch shells in 20 gauge, giving you the flexibility to run both standard 2¾-inch loads for lighter recoil during extended range sessions and 3-inch magnum loads for added energy in the field. Always verify the specific chamber length on your individual firearm before use.
How does the compact stock length affect adult shooters, and can it be adjusted?
The 13.25-inch length-of-pull is shorter than a standard adult stock (typically 14–14.5 inches), which makes this gun naturally well-suited for youth and smaller-framed adults. Many full-sized adult shooters may find the fit workable with heavier clothing layering. The stock is not adjustable from the factory, but an aftermarket recoil pad can be added to extend pull length if needed.
