Detailed Features 

The aluminum receiver keeps weight to 5 lbs, making this one of the lighter over/under shotguns available. At 39.57 inches overall with a 24-inch barrel, it's compact enough for tight cover and easy to carry through a full day afield. 
 
The single selective mechanical trigger lets the shooter choose which barrel fires first, useful when pattern requirements change between shots. Chrome-lined barrels resist corrosion and clean up easily after field use. The vent rib aids in heat dissipation and improves sight alignment. 
 
Five choke tubes are included (Cylindrical, Full, Improved Cylinder, Improved Modified, Modified), covering the range from open upland patterns to tighter clay shooting chokes. The oiled Turkish walnut stock has a semi-pistol grip that provides positive control. 
 

Usage 

The 555 Compact suits upland bird hunting and clay shooting. The light weight and compact dimensions are a genuine advantage for younger or smaller shooters, and for anyone who values carrying comfort over extended time in the field.

Owners of the Stevens 555 Compact 20GA consistently mention the weight as the gun's biggest practical advantage. At 5 lbs it's noticeably lighter than most over/under shotguns, which matters when you're carrying it through hills or dense cover all day.

The walnut stock gets positive remarks for its classic appearance and feel, and the build quality is generally considered solid for an entry-level over/under at this price. Accuracy and handling feedback are favorable across upland hunting and clay shooting.

The value discussion is active and positive, with most owners feeling the 555 Compact punches above its price class. Minor critiques appear around trigger pull quality and finish durability over heavy use, but these are noted as expected trade-offs at the price point rather than deal-breakers.
