Description
The Savage 555 16 Gauge Over Under is a lightweight over-under shotgun in the classic 16 gauge, with 28-inch chrome-lined barrels, a Turkish walnut stock, an aluminum receiver, and five interchangeable choke tubes. At about 6.2 pounds, it carries easily on long upland hunts and swings quickly on flushing birds.
Savage 555 16 Gauge Over Under Overview
The 555 brings world-class over-under performance at an affordable price. Its lightweight aluminum receiver keeps weight down so the gun handles fast, while the walnut stock and clean lines give it the look of a much more expensive shotgun. The 16 gauge sits between the 12 and the 20, delivering a full payload with less weight and recoil, which is why so many upland hunters consider it the ideal bird gun.
Chrome-Lined 28-Inch Barrels
The carbon steel barrels are chrome-lined for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, and the satin finish keeps glare down in the field. At 28 inches, they give a smooth, steady swing and a long sight plane for crossing shots. The overall length is about 45.28 inches.
Five Choke Tubes Included
The 555 comes with Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder choke tubes. That spread lets you open up for close-flushing grouse and woodcock, tighten down for late-season pheasants, or set up for sporting clays and skeet.
Turkish Walnut Stock
The Turkish walnut stock and forend have a satin finish and a semi-pistol grip that feels natural when mounting the gun. Walnut is a natural material, so each stock has its own grain and color. A 14.57-inch length of pull and a recoil pad suit most adult shooters.
Single Selective Trigger and Tang Safety
A single selective mechanical trigger lets you choose which barrel fires first, so you can match the more open choke to the first shot and the tighter choke to the second. The mechanical design does not rely on recoil to reset, which keeps it reliable with light target loads. A tang-mounted safety sits right under your thumb.
Manual Extractors
Manual extractors lift shells for easy removal, so you can pocket your empties in the field instead of leaving hulls behind, and reload quickly between flushes.
Why a 16 Gauge
The 16 gauge has a loyal following among bird hunters for good reason. It throws a pattern nearly as dense as a 12 gauge with a lighter gun and softer recoil, and it carries like a 20. On a long day of walking behind a dog, that balance of payload and weight makes a real difference. Pair it with quality upland loads and you have a shotgun that feels as good in the hand at the end of the day as it did at sunrise.
