Customer Reviews for Stevens 555 E O/U 28 Gauge Shotgun

For the money it is a good over under shotgun.

Smooth transaction from Buds. This gun is an outstanding bargain for the price and 28 ga O/U is hard to find. Gun is attractive and well made. At 76, with arthritis and Afib, I had to give up shooting 12 ga. for skeet. Now I use the 28 ga for 28ga through 12ga events. That has made me a better shooter as I have to really concentrate to score well. It has really improved my shooting which was a major surprise.

Buying experience from Buds was great as usual. The Gun itself looks very nice for the price. Wood is very good at this price point and laser engraving on the receiver looks great from a distance but close up looks just so so. I'd gladly give up the laser engraving for additional attention given to other areas. The gun patterns decently with the bottom barrel around 60/40 and the top about 50/50. I do have some issues with the gun though. The trigger pull for both barrels is excessively heavy at around 7# which feels quite heavy when shooting a light gun. I'm guessing done on purpose to alleviate the problem of "doubling" that these guns had early on. I have not experienced double firing issues with my gun. In terms if fit and finish its generally good but I've had some problems there too. The fore end of the gun is a tad loose and swinging a mounted gun you can feel the wood fore end lightly tapping the sides of the barrel. Also when I received the gun there was still a burr in the cut out for the ejector that caused shells to hang up and not eject correctly. I'm also not a fan of the butt pad which I'll probably end up replacing if I keep the gun long term. It's edges are too sharp and tend to hang up on clothing. Fine for clays I guess but not ideal for a field gun. I do like the gun and and don't expect perfection at this price but just though I'd share some of my mostly minor complaints of the gun. It does seem like my CZ brand o/u has better workmanship at a similar price. I'm planning on addressing most of the issues and keeping it through next hunting season to see how it works for me. I'll give it 3 1/2 stars.

Amazing! Looks great, runs great, smooth transaction.

Is very pleased with this firearm as it swings nicely and shoots quiet well. It is a beautiful shotgun and well worth the price.

I have taken this gun to the Sporting Clay range twice now and I really like Everything about it. I am hitting all my targets, it functions flawlessly. and the Ejectors are a very nice feature.
If there is any confusion, this gun shoots only 2 3/4 shells. P.S. it has a beautiful finish both stock and action and barrel.

Not what I would call a top quality product, but a good value coated to the price of other 28 gauge shotguns.

I ordered this shotgun on a Thursday and picked it up the next day. I've now purchased 4 guns form Buds Gun Shop. Their service is remarkable and their prices are great. I'll be testing out my new shotgun next week during opening dove season her in South Texas. Thanks Buds Guns.
