New calibers for the Smith & Wesson Model 1854 lever action rifles
Smith & Wesson expands the popular Model 1854 line of lever-action hunting rifle with the launch of two new models chambered for the iconic .30-30 Winchester and .45-70 Government cartridges

First introduced at the 2024 edition of SHOT Show and now the mainstay of the Company's line of hunting rifles, the Smith & Wesson Model 1854 line of lever-action rifles expands with the launch of two new variants on the US market.
Just in time for the opening of the hunting season in north America and a few weeks from the opening of the hunting season in many European Countries, the Smith & Wesson Model 1854 series now features a new entry chambered in the quintessential .30-30 Winchester, while the shorter, battue hunting-oriented Model 1854 Stealth Hunter rifle is now also available in the highly anticipated .45/70 Government variant.
All Model 1854 rifles are built around forged 416 Stainless Steel receivers, and offer common features such as a large loop cocking lever, a single-action only trigger with external hammer and cross-bolt manual safety, a side ejection window separate from the loading port, and a top MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail for optics that also hosts the ring rear sight.

The new .30-30 Winchester Model 1854 rifle comes from factory with a 20-inch barrel, with six right-hand grooves and a 1:10" twist rate; a 5/8-24" thread at the muzzle, covered by a screw-on thread protector; a fixed black front sight with gold pearl insert; and a six-rounds magazine tube, which brings the overall capacity to seven rounds with the capability to host an additional round in chamber.
Other features include a smooth action for fast follow-up shots on critical game; a black forend and stock, with slip-proof gripping surfaces and two M-LOK slots in front of the handguard for accessories; and a bright white stainless finish on all outer metal surfaces, with black accents provided by the charging handle, bolt, trigger, hammer, cross-bolt safety and top rail.
Standing at 96 cm / 37.8" in overall length and weighing in at 3,4 kilograms / 120 oz when empty, the new Smith & Wesson Model 1854 .30-30 Winchester lever action rifle is sold in the United States at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $1,399.00.

Shorter and lighter than the baseline model – 87 cm / 34.3" long overall, with a 42 cm / 16.½" barrel, and weighing in at 2,9 kg / 105.2 oz – the Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Stealth Hunter lever-action rifle is dedicated specifically to short-range battue hunting, and now with five rounds of .45-70 Government ammunition in its magazine tube plus one in chamber it offers even better stopping power against those pesky wild boars.
The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Stealth Hunter lever-action rifle comes with a black synthetic stock and a black machined aluminum forend with fifteen M-LOK slots for accessories overall, as well as with a longer top Picatinny rail for optics, a rear XS Sights ring sight and a front HIVIZ H3 green fiber optic sight for great shootability right out of the box.
The barrel of the .45-70 Government Model 1854 Stealth Hunter features eight right-handed grooves, with a 1:20" twist rate, and a protected 11/16x24 thread at the muzzle for compensators, flash hiders, muzzle brakes, or sound suppressors. All outer metal surfaces are protected by a matte black Armornite finish. MSRP is set at $1,499.00 on the US market.
