Stevens 23223 555 Trap 20 Gauge 3" 1-Round Walnut Stock Shotgun

The Stevens 23223 555 Trap 20 Gauge 3" 1-Round Walnut Stock Shotgun is a purpose-built competition and recreational trap shooting platform designed for shooters who demand reliability and consistent performance downrange. Built by Stevens—a heritage American firearms manufacturer with decades of proven field and range experience—this single-shot trap gun fills a critical niche for dedicated clay target competitors and training-focused shooters. The walnut furniture and classic profile make it equally at home in formal competition environments or informal practice settings, while the straightforward single-round capacity emphasizes deliberate, disciplined shooting technique.

The 20 gauge chambering with 3-inch capability delivers the ballistic performance necessary for trap shooting while managing recoil more effectively than 12 gauge alternatives—a significant advantage during extended competitive sessions where shooter fatigue directly impacts accuracy. The single-round manual feed design eliminates the complications of pump or semi-automatic systems, reducing maintenance overhead and ensuring absolute reliability when clean function matters most. Weighing 10.4 pounds with overall dimensions of 32.7 inches in length, the Stevens 555 Trap maintains the heft and balance required for smooth swing-through lead development while remaining manageable during long range days. The walnut stock provides traditional aesthetic appeal and proven durability, absorbing recoil effectively while resisting weather deterioration when properly maintained.

Competition trap shooters, clay target clubs, and recreational shooters who prioritize shot-to-shot consistency will find the Stevens 23223 an economical and dependable choice that doesn't compromise on mechanical integrity. This shotgun is ideal for shooters transitioning from rental or shared equipment to personal ownership, or competitors seeking a no-nonsense platform without semi-automatic complexity. Proper eye protection and hearing protection are mandatory when shooting this firearm. Ammunition compatibility is restricted to 20 gauge factory loads within 3-inch pressure specifications; adherence to manufacturer load recommendations ensures safe, reliable operation and preserves the firearm's service life.
