About this product
What is the Savage 555 E Over/Under .410 Gauge 26″ Walnut?
The Savage 555 E Over/Under .410 Gauge 26″ Walnut is a lightweight, laser-engraved sporting shotgun featuring an aluminum alloy receiver and Imperial walnut stock, optimized for upland game and clays with five included choke tubes. Its single selective mechanical trigger and 26-inch vent-rib barrel provide balanced handling in a classic design. Chambered for 3-inch .410 shells, it holds two rounds and weighs 6.2 pounds empty.
What is the Savage 555 E used for?
The Savage 555 E is built for upland bird hunting and recreational clays, especially where a lighter .410 gauge is preferred. Its 26-inch barrel and 6.2-pound weight make it maneuverable in thick cover, while the five choke tubes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full) allow versatility from close-range quail to longer shots on pheasant. The auto-ejector and selective trigger ensure rapid follow-up shots, though the two-round capacity limits it compared to pumps or autoloaders.
How does the Savage 555 E compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge 30in?
The Savage 555 E .410 is 2.1 pounds lighter and 4 inches shorter than the Stevens 555 Sporting 12 Gauge 30in, making it better for young shooters or dense brush, but the 12-gauge version hits harder at distance. The .410’s 26-inch barrel and 6.2-pound weight improve swing speed, but the 12-gauge’s larger shot pattern and 30-inch barrel excel in sporting clays where target breaks matter more. Choose the .410 for recoil-sensitive applications; the 12-gauge for competitive scenarios.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded, the Savage 555 E weighs 6.2 pounds (2.81 kg) with a 26-inch (660 mm) barrel and overall length of 42.5 inches (1080 mm). The receiver is aluminum alloy, contributing to the light weight, while the Imperial walnut stock adds 14.5 inches (368 mm) of length of pull. Compare that to the synthetic-stocked the Stevens 334 Rifle at 7.1 pounds—this shotgun prioritizes portability.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is not for waterfowl hunters or those needing high-capacity firepower, due to its two-round limit and .410’s lighter payload. The manual safety and selective trigger require familiarity—beginners might prefer a simpler Stevens 555 Sporting Compact 20ga with more forgiving gauges. Additionally, the walnut stock demands maintenance in wet conditions; synthetic options withstand abuse better.
What's in the box?
Included are the shotgun, five choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F), a choke tube wrench, and owner’s manual. The chokes are threaded for Beretta/Benelli patterns, allowing aftermarket options, and the wrench is steel, 3.5 inches long. Unlike some competitors, no hard case is provided—plan for a $50-$100 aftermarket investment if transporting frequently.
Is the Savage 555 E worth it at $897.99?
At $897.99, the Savage 555 E justifies its cost for shooters valuing classic aesthetics and .410 versatility, but it’s priced $200 above Turkish imports with similar features. The walnut stock and laser engraving add $150-$200 over synthetic models, and the choke set is comprehensive. If you prioritize weight savings and tradition, it’s fair; if budget matters, consider the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U Shotgun .410 Bore 28 in at $749.99.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Beretta choke tubes?
- Yes, the Savage 555 E uses Beretta/Benelli Mobilchoke threads, so aftermarket tubes from brands like Carlson's or Briley fit. The included set covers patterns from Cylinder to Full, but specialized turkey or waterfowl tubes cost $30-$50 each.
- Does it fit in a standard 48-inch shotgun case?
- Yes, at 42.5 inches overall, it fits most standard cases with room to spare. For example, a Plano All-Weather 42-inch case accommodates it with 5.5 inches of extra space for accessories.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders in 1-2 business days, with FedEx Ground shipping taking 3-5 days continental U.S. Expedited options are available for $25 extra, cutting it to 2 days.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days if unfired and in original packaging, but a 15% restocking fee applies. Fired firearms cannot be returned due to ATF regulations—ensure fit with a rental first.
- Does this work with .410 slugs?
- Yes, with the Improved Cylinder or Cylinder choke installed, it fires 2.5-inch or 3-inch .410 slugs accurately. Pattern it at 25 yards—expect 4-inch groups with Federal Premium 1/4 oz slugs.
