Smith & Wesson 1854 Stealth Hunter 357 Mag 16.3" 8rd Rifle

Chambered in 357 Magnum, this 1854 Stealth Hunter pairs a short 16.3" barrel with a lever action. The barrel has a 1:14" twist and is threaded 5/8-24 with a thread protector, so a muzzle brake or suppressor goes on without a gunsmith. The removable tube holds 8 rounds of 357 Magnum and lets you unload by pulling the tube rather than working every cartridge through the action.

Smith & Wesson built this version for mounting gear. The receiver carries an extended Picatinny rail for optics, and the aluminum handguard has 15 M-LOK slots for a light or bipod. Sights are a HIVIZ H3 front and an adjustable XS ghost ring rear, quick to pick up in poor light. A large loop lever, flat trigger and crossbolt safety round out the controls, and the black synthetic stock with textured panels shrugs off rain and mud. It is a light, compact carbine for deer at woods ranges, hogs, ranch work or a truck gun. The low recoil of 357 Magnum from a rifle also makes it a good lever gun for newer shooters.
