The Stevens 555 Trap Compact is a 20-gauge over/under shotgun with a 26" ventilated-rib barrel, 3" chamber, and Turkish walnut stock on an aluminum receiver. It weighs 6.60 lbs. The compact designation reflects a shorter length of pull suited to smaller-framed shooters or youth. Bead front sight is standard.

Detailed Features 

 
The aluminum receiver keeps weight low for an over/under, which is notable in a trap gun — trap shooters mount and swing at high, outgoing birds, and a lighter gun is less fatiguing over a full round. The ventilated rib lets heat dissipate between shots and provides a flat sighting plane for consistent target acquisition. Turkish walnut stock gives a traditional look. The break-open action is straightforward to operate and easy to maintain. The compact length of pull makes it genuinely practical for shooters who find standard stocks too long. 
 

Usage 

 
This gun targets trap shooting primarily — the 26" barrel, bead sight, and ventilated rib are all standard trap-gun features. The 20-gauge chambering reduces recoil, which is useful during practice rounds when you shoot many shells. The compact stock also makes this a functional option for junior shooters or adults with shorter arms who need a shorter pull length.

Owners of the Stevens 555 Trap Compact in 20 gauge consistently point to its lightweight build and value as the main attractions. At 6.60 lbs, it does not fatigue the shooter during extended trap sessions, and the aluminum receiver is a genuine contributor to that light weight rather than a cost-cutting measure.

Wood and metal fit and finish get positive remarks from most owners — the Turkish walnut is well finished for the price category. Performance on the trap range is generally well-rated, with accuracy and balance cited as strengths. The compact stock is specifically mentioned by shorter-framed shooters and youth shooters as the reason they chose this model over a standard-length gun.

Minor critiques focus on trigger pull weight and recoil management — some owners feel the trigger is heavier than ideal and that recoil, while manageable, could be softer for a dedicated trap gun. The price point is consistently described as a strong value in the over/under market for this gauge and application.
