Smith & Wesson 1854 Stealth Hunter .45-70 16.5" Barrel 5+1 Lever Action Rifle

The Smith & Wesson 1854 Stealth Hunter blends classic lever-action heritage with modern tactical upgrades for a hunting rifle that’s equally at home in dense timber or on the prairie. Chambered in hard-hitting .45-70, the 16.5" precision barrel (1:20" RH, 8-groove) and flat, crisp trigger deliver authoritative energy and repeatable shot placement. Built on a forged 416 stainless receiver with an Armornite® finish and fitted with an aluminum M-LOK® handguard and extended Picatinny rail, the Stealth Hunter is already optics-ready — yet retains the smooth, glove-friendly large-loop lever for fast follow-ups. Sight package blends an XS Sights® adjustable rear ghost-ring with a high-visibility HIVIZ® H3 fiber front for lightning-fast acquisition in low light. Rugged, adaptable, and tuned for serious big-game work, this lever-action reimagines what a modern hunter needs.
