The Stevens name has long been associated with affordable shotguns in a variety of forms. Most recently, the brand, a division of Savage Arms, has imported pump, single-shot and over-under models. For 2023, the company is introducing a semi-automatic model in the Stevens 560 Field.
The 560 Field will be available in both full-size and compact models with 26″ or 28″ barrels.
A gas-operated, 12-ga. design, the Stevens Model 560 Field that has a 3″ chamber and can shoot both 3″ and 2 3/4″ shells. The chrome-lined barrel has a raised ventilated and matted top rib and a fiber-optic front sight and uses the same pattern of chokes as the Stevens 555 over-under. The shotgun is supplied with three removable tubes: improved cylinder, improved modified and full.
The stock and fore-end are made of Turkish walnut and feature a “stippled” texture in the gripping areas, an oil finish and a rubber recoil pad. Controls are oversized, with the push-through cross-bolt safety placed in the rear of the trigger guard and a bolt release on the right side of the receiver just below the ejection port. The tubular magazine holds five 2 3/4″ shells or three 3″ shells. The receiver is machined from 7075 aluminum alloy, keeping the overall weight of the 560 at just under 7 lbs. Both the receiver and barrel are finished in matte black.
Controls on the 560 Field are oversized. The stock and forearm are of Turkish walnut with a stippled texture in the gripping areas.
The 560 Field is available in both full-sized and compact models with either a 28″ or 26″ barrel. Full-sized models have a length of pull (LOP) of 14.5″ and Compact models have a 13.5″ LOP. All 560 models have an MSRP of $499.
