Features 

The auto ejector throws spent hulls clear after firing. Five choke tubes are included -- Cylindrical, Full, Improved Cylinder, Improved Modified, and Modified -- covering the main shooting scenarios. Chrome-lined barrels clean up easily and resist corrosion. The aluminum receiver keeps weight at 6.5 lbs., which is light for a 12-gauge O/U. The tang-mounted safety is accessible for both right- and left-handed shooters.

The Stevens 555 E is well regarded as an affordable entry point for an over/under shotgun. The oiled walnut stock earns consistent compliments for its appearance, and the lightweight aluminum receiver is mentioned frequently as a practical benefit for field carry. Performance on clays and upland game hunting is reported as reliable by most owners.

Constructive feedback tends to focus on long-term durability under heavy use compared to higher-priced O/U guns, trigger pull that some shooters find heavier than ideal, and recoil that comes through more than expected given the light weight. Aftermarket support is limited. Most buyers who come in with realistic expectations -- this is an entry-level O/U -- come away satisfied with the value.
