Stevens 555 was designed to be a hunting gun, hence the light weight. If you're main use is going to be trap/skeet then you'll probably want something else. I didn't think the recoil was that bad while shooting clays with the one I reviewed a couple years ago, but I grew up shooting 3" slug guns so my perspective on shotgun recoil may be skewed a little. I know the young man I sold it to shoots sporting clays with it quite often down at Briar Rabbit with great success. He likes that gun so much he turned down an offer from his dad to upgrade him to a Browning.
