About the Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Stealth Hunter
The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Stealth Hunter is a suppressor-ready lever-action rifle in .30-30 Winchester, holding 5+1 rounds in a tubular magazine. It uses a 16.5-inch 410 stainless barrel with a 5/8-24 threaded muzzle, a forged 416 stainless receiver in Armornite, a black synthetic stock and an aluminium handguard with 15 M-LOK slots, plus XS ghost-ring rear and HIVIZ Litewave front sights.
Smith & Wesson's Model 1854 is named for the year Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson founded their first partnership - but the company had never actually built a lever-action rifle until 2024.

The .30-30 chambering was added in late 2025 to a Stealth Hunter line that started in .44 Magnum. Added here to close a catalogue gap - not a 2026 release.
