FEATURES:

With a 34.3-inch barrel optimized for long sight radius and consistent downrange performance, the Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Stealth Hunter in 30-30 Win marries classic hunting cartridge capability with a modern, mission-focused feature set. The length and profile of the barrel are designed to stabilize 30-30 Win projectiles for dependable trajectory and retained energy at typical hunting distances, while the threaded barrel offers straightforward compatibility with muzzle devices or suppressors where legal and appropriate, allowing the shooter to tailor muzzle impulse and report to the task at hand.

Sight and optic integration on the Model 1854 Stealth Hunter are handled with versatility in mind. A 10.5-inch Picatinny/Sight Combo foregoes compromise by providing a continuous, rigid rail surface for optics while incorporating a Ghost Ring Rear and Gold Bead Front sight setup for fast, iron-sight engagements when needed. This combination allows users to run a magnified scope or low-power variable on the rail and still retain a robust, co-witness-capable backup sight picture for close-range shots or rapid target transitions. The Picatinny section is machined with repeatable tolerances to maintain zero under repeated removal and reinstallation of optics.

Ergonomics and control are modernized through an Aluminum M-LOK Forend that balances strength and lightweight construction while providing direct attachment points for bipods, sling mounts, or accessory rails without adding unnecessary bulk. The M-LOK interface keeps accessories low and secure, which is particularly valuable on a long-barreled hunting rifle where balance and swing dynamics matter. The aluminum construction contributes to a rigid forend that resists flex under pressure, aiding shot-to-shot consistency and offering a durable mounting platform for whatever ancillary gear a hunter requires.

Trigger performance has been refined with a Flat Faced Trigger that promotes consistent finger placement and a direct, repeatable break. The flat face encourages fingertip positioning that reduces torque and promotes uniformity in each shot, translating to better group cohesion and more predictable shot execution in the field. The trigger’s tactile characteristics are tuned to support controlled precision shooting while remaining safe and practical for hunting environments.

The rifle’s action and feeding system are built around a 5+1rd capacity, giving hunters a practical balance between compliance with game regulations and the flexibility to address multiple targets or make rapid follow-up shots when ethically required. Magazine and feed geometry have been engineered for reliable presentation of cartridges, and the robust bolt and locking surfaces deliver positive lockup for repeatable headspace and alignment — critical for consistent accuracy in a hunting rifle.

Durability and finish choices underscore the Stealth Hunter’s field-ready intent. Corrosion-resistant coatings and robust metalwork ensure the rifle withstands damp, dirty, and abrasive conditions that are common in many hunting scenarios. Controls are scaled and textured to remain accessible when wearing gloves or when hands are wet, and the overall balance between the long barrel, aluminum forend, and stock geometry results in a rifle that tracks smoothly on moving game.

Handling characteristics emphasize practical utility: the long barrel aids in tracking and follow-through while the threaded muzzle and M-LOK accessories let the shooter tune the platform for their preferred recoil management and accessory layout. The integrated Picatinny/Sight Combo provides immediate options for magnified optics and iron-sight redundancy, and the combination of modern ergonomics and a flat-faced trigger enhances the shooter’s ability to place accurate, ethical shots in real-world hunting conditions.
