In the realm of sporting clays and trap leagues, the Stevens 555 Sporting model emerges as a formidable contender. This over/under shotgun marries function with finesse, offering an experience that is both robust and refined.
At its core lies a lightweight aluminum alloy receiver, precisely scaled to gauge. A steel insert fortifies the breech, striking an ideal balance between weight reduction and structural integrity. The result is a firearm that handles with agility yet withstands the rigors of competitive shooting.
Noteworthy features enhance its performance on the range. The raised ventilated rib facilitates rapid target acquisition, complemented by a mid-bead rear sight and fiberoptic front sight for superior visibility in varied lighting conditions. Recoil-reducing ports along its 26-inch ported barrels mitigate felt recoil, ensuring comfort during extended sessions.
Tailored adaptability comes courtesy of an adjustable cheek riser crafted into its Turkish walnut stock and fore-end. With a length-of-pull measuring 14.5 inches, this shotgun accommodates shooters across diverse statures without compromise.
Safety remains paramount; thus it incorporates both manual safety mechanisms—a tang-mounted safety—and a single selective mechanical trigger for precise control over each shot fired.
Chrome-lined barrels promise longevity while maintaining peak performance standards inherent to all Stevens firearms. Further versatility is afforded by five included extended chokes (F IM M IC C), allowing customization according to specific shooting scenarios or personal preference.
It stands unmatched among peers when considering value—delivering exceptional quality at an accessible price point within reach even amidst competitors vying similarly for attention.
