The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 is a modern take on a classic lever-action platform chambered in .45-70 Government. It ships with a 20″ threaded barrel, an extended Picatinny rail on the receiver for optics, and a large-loop lever for easy cycling. The rifle includes XS ghost-ring rear sights and a gold bead front sight, and uses a forged 416 stainless steel receiver finished in Armornite on several factory documents.
