The new Model 1854 Stealth Hunter, available in .44 Rem Mag, .45 Colt, and now .357 Mag calibers, is engineered for enhanced performance in the field. Built on the traditional Model 1854 platform, these rifles feature a flat trigger design, a large loop lever for easy use with gloves, a removable magazine tube, and a synthetic stock with textured grip.

In addition to the all-black Armornite aesthetic, Stealth Hunter rifles come equipped with new upgrades. These include an extended 10.5-inch Picatinny rail for a broader range of optic use, a newly designed T6 aluminum forend with fifteen M-LOKcompatible slots for accessory attachments, a HIVIZ H3 fiber optic front sight to improve visibility in both low-light and daylight conditions, and a shortened 16.3-inch 410 stainless-steel barrel that contributes to a lighter overall weight.

"These rifles provide reliability and precision for both hunters and shooting enthusiasts. With the addition of the Stealth Hunter series to the Model 1854 lineup, consumers can now enjoy an even wider selection of calibers, barrel lengths, furniture, and overall aesthetics that are better tailored to meet their specific needs. This collection represents a legacy meticulously designed for performance, ensuring that you can consistently perform at your best," said Corey Beaudreau, Product Manager, Rifles.
