Crisp Action
What stands out immediately is the action: crisp, reassuring, and engineered to replicate the smoothness Smith & Wesson fans expect from their large-frame revolvers. That same attention to tolerances and fitment translates to positive lever throw, consistent feeding, and a reliable ejection cycle. The kind of mechanical polish you notice on the range and appreciate after a long day in the blind. The 1854 isn’t dressed up nostalgia, it’s a modern working rifle with classic lines and contemporary performance.
Stock and trim choices let you tailor the Model 1854 to your style. Traditional walnut versions honor the lever-gun silhouette with warm wood and classic furniture, while Stealth Hunter models take a more tactical appearance for those who want modern finishes and accessory compatibility. For collectors and those who want something special, limited editions add unique finishes and premium touches that make the rifle a standout on the wall or in the safe.
