Description

Lever guns have been having a moment, and Smith & Wesson jumped in with both feet. The 1854 Stealth Hunter is the blacked-out, accessory-friendly version of their Model 1854 line, and this one is chambered in .45 Colt, a cartridge that has been putting meat in the freezer since the 1870s. Out of a 16.3-inch barrel it picks up a nice velocity bump over a revolver, and with 8 rounds in the tube you have plenty on tap for deer, hogs, or a fun afternoon of ringing steel.

What Sets the Stealth Hunter Apart

The big story here is the 10.5-inch extended Picatinny rail up top. Most lever rifles give you a couple inches of rail at best, but this one has room for a scout scope, red dot, LPVO, or even a thermal setup for night hogs. The rail includes an adjustable XS ghost ring rear sight paired with a HIVIZ H3 fiber optic front, so the irons are genuinely usable in low light even if you never mount glass. Down below, the aluminum handguard carries 15 M-LOK slots for a light, sling mount, or bipod, and it tapers nicely toward the muzzle so it still feels like a lever gun in the hands, not a piece of pipe.

Built to Run in the Field

Smith & Wesson gave this rifle a forged stainless receiver, a large loop lever that cycles easily with gloves on, and a flat-faced trigger for consistent finger placement shot to shot. The threaded muzzle comes capped and ready for a suppressor, and a suppressed pistol-caliber lever gun is about as pleasant as shooting gets. The removable magazine tube makes unloading quick and safe at the end of the day, and the synthetic stock with textured grip panels shrugs off weather that would have you babying a walnut gun.

Why the 1854 in .45 Colt Makes Sense

At 33.4 inches overall and a hair under 6.5 pounds, this carbine is quick to shoulder in a blind or thick timber, and recoil with .45 Colt is downright friendly. If you already carry a wheelgun in the same caliber, sharing one cartridge between rifle and revolver is a tradition worth keeping alive. Classic action, modern bones, and backed by Smith & Wesson's lifetime service policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the barrel on the 1854 Stealth Hunter threaded for a suppressor?

Yes, the 16.3-inch barrel is threaded 11/16×24 and ships with a protector cap installed. A suppressed .45 Colt lever gun is impressively quiet, especially with standard pressure loads that stay subsonic. The sights are also tall enough to see over most cans.

How do you unload the S&W 1854 Stealth Hunter?

The magazine tube is fully removable, so you can pull it and dump unfired rounds without cycling every cartridge through the action. It's a one-piece tube, so loading is done through the right-side loading gate rather than the front of the tube. It's a quicker and safer way to end a range session than working the lever eight times.

Can I mount a scope or red dot on the 1854 Stealth Hunter?

Absolutely, that's one of its biggest strengths. The rifle comes with a 10.5-inch Picatinny rail already installed, giving you room for a red dot, LPVO, scout scope, or even thermal optics. The integrated XS ghost ring rear sight is adjustable and removable, so it works as a backup or a standalone setup.

Is .45 Colt enough for deer hunting out of this rifle?

Within reasonable ranges, yes. The 16.3-inch barrel squeezes noticeably more velocity out of .45 Colt than a revolver, and with quality hunting bullets it handles deer and hogs well inside about 100 yards. It's a proven woods cartridge with mild recoil, which makes follow-up shots fast.
