There was an announcement in the Outdoor Wire this morning.
Stevens 555E Over-and-Under 16-Gauge
Stevens’ new 555 Enhanced is light and handles fast, thanks to a lightweight aluminum receiver that’s scaled to gauge and reinforced by a steel insert. It is now available in 16-gauge. |

| KOFS of Turkey makes these. It's the same gun as the ATI Cavalry but with slightly different decoration on the receiver. |

This actually sounds interesting however, I own a Browning Citori 16 Upland - and 1 16 GA gun is enough in my life. (at one point I owned 3: a Savage SXS circa 1934, and a Browning Sweet 16)
Having said that, I owned one of these Stevens model 555 O/U's in .410, it was very well built - but I sold it because it was too 'whippy' for me.
My friend has one in 28 gauge and is absolutely in love with it.
When I bought mine I seem to recall paying around $550 for it (dealer in southern NH)
The only suggestion I would make is I'd be sure to put one to my shoulder before I buy.
As for 16 GA ammo, my experience is in-store inventories are spotty |
