The Smith & Wesson 1854 Stealth Hunter transforms the classic 357 Magnum cartridge into a precision platform built for suppressed hunting and tactical applications. This lever-action rifle combines traditional American craftsmanship with modern tactical features that serious shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard lever guns, the 1854 Stealth Hunter features a factory-threaded barrel ready for suppressor attachment and a full-length Picatinny rail system. The 16.30-inch barrel delivers optimal velocity while maintaining maneuverability in tight spaces. The Armornite finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, extending service life in harsh conditions.
Key Features
- Factory-threaded 16.30-inch barrel with 5/8x24 threading for suppressor compatibility
- Full-length Picatinny rail receiver for optics mounting and accessories
- 8+1 capacity with side-loading gate for quick reloads
- Black Armornite barrel finish resists wear and corrosion
- Textured synthetic grip panels provide secure handling
- Black anodized receiver matches tactical aesthetics
- Fixed stock design ensures consistent cheek weld and length of pull
The 357 Magnum chambering handles everything from 38 Special target loads to full-power hunting ammunition. Accuracy potential reaches sub-2 MOA with quality ammunition, making it effective for hunting medium game out to 150 yards. The lever action cycles smoothly with both light and heavy loads, while the threaded barrel allows for sound suppression during hunting or training.
