The Stevens 555 Trap 12ga 30 in. Single Barrel Walnut is a purpose-built break-action shotgun that delivers repeatable accuracy for trap and target shooters who demand adjustability and a clean sight picture. It pairs a 30-inch ventilated rib barrel with a Turkish walnut stock featuring an adjustable comb, letting you dial in your cheek weld for consistent clay busting. The aluminum receiver in semi-gloss silver keeps weight down, while the chrome-lined vented rib resists fouling and glare. Chambered for 3-inch shells, this single-shot is ready for extended practice sessions or league night.

Key Features
- 30-Inch Ventilated Rib Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: The longer sight radius and open rib reduce mirage and give you a crisp, floating front bead for tracking crossing clays at 16 yards or 27 yards.
- Adjustable Comb Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: Fine-tune your cheek height to align your eye with the rib, eliminating guesswork and improving hit consistency shot after shot.
- Chrome-Lined Vented Rib — WHY IT MATTERS: Keeps the rib surface smooth and corrosion-resistant, so you don’t lose sight picture to rust or pitting after a rainy round.
- Turkish Walnut Stock and Fore-End — WHY IT MATTERS: High-density walnut soaks up recoil energy while delivering classic looks that stand up to the wear of daily range use.
- Aluminum Receiver with Semi-Gloss Silver Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: Shaves nearly a pound off a traditional steel receiver, making this trap gun easier to swing through long stations without fatigue.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for the trap shooter who wants a dedicated single-barrel platform without the custom-gun price tag. Whether you’re a league competitor, a weekend clay buster, or a shooter moving up from a field gun, the Stevens 555 Trap gives you an adjustable comb and a 30-inch barrel that rewards precise mounting. It also fits shooters who prefer a break-action over a semi-auto for its simplicity and easy cleaning.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Adjustable comb fits more face shapes than fixed-stock trap guns; lightweight aluminum receiver reduces swing fatigue; chrome-lined rib holds up to frequent cleaning.
- Cons: Single-shot only — no quick follow-up for doubles in trap or sporting clays unless you train for fast reloads.
How It Stacks Up
| Feature | Stevens 555 Trap | Zev Technologies Z-12 | Agency Arms A-10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Action | Break-action single shot | Gas-operated semi-auto | Pump-action |
| Barrel Length | 30 in. | 28 in. | 26 in. |
| Stock Adjustability | Adjustable comb | Fixed comb | Adjustable LOP |
| Receiver Material | Aluminum | Steel | Steel |
| Weight | ~6.5 lbs | ~7.8 lbs | ~7.2 lbs |
| Best For | Trap singles, light carry | 3-gun, high-volume | Home defense, tactical |
The Stevens 555 Trap is lighter and more adjustable than the Zev Z-12, but you lose the semi-auto speed for doubles. Against the Agency A-10, you gain a longer barrel for trap but sacrifice pump-action versatility.
FAQ
Does this shotgun come with a choke tube?
Yes, the Stevens 555 Trap ships with a fixed modified choke or an interchangeable choke system depending on the production run — check the barrel markings or your dealer’s listing. Per Savage Arms specs, the current model includes a modified choke tube for standard trap.
Can I use this for hunting?
You can, but the 30-inch barrel and trap-focused stock are optimized for stationary or crossing targets at known distances. It works for upland birds and waterfowl with the right choke, but the single-shot action limits follow-up shots.
Is the adjustable comb easy to change?
Yes, the comb adjusts via a simple hex screw under the cheekpiece. You can raise or lower it in about 30 seconds with a 4mm Allen wrench — no gunsmith needed.
What shells does this gun cycle?
Because it’s a break-action single shot, it handles any 12-gauge shell from 2.75-inch target loads to 3-inch magnums. No gas system to tune, so it fires everything reliably.
