SMITH & WESSON 1854 STEALTH HUNTER MIAMI TIGER STRIPE 30/30 WIN 16.5″ 5+1RD

Lever-action rifles deliver straightforward reliability for hunters who value speed and accuracy in the field. The S&W 1854 Stealth Hunter pairs a compact 16.5-inch barrel with proven 30-30 Winchester ballistics, making it suitable for brush work and moderate distances. Before purchasing any firearm in California, review California firearm laws to understand registration and ownership requirements. TacticCAL in Sunnyvale can walk you through the process.

Compact Profile with Traditional Power

The 16.5-inch barrel reduces overall length without sacrificing the energy delivery that made 30-30 Winchester popular for decades. Miami Tiger Stripe finish on the receiver provides a tactical aesthetic while the five-round magazine plus one in the chamber gives you practical capacity for hunting scenarios. Lever-action mechanics are inherently simple—no springs to wear, no gas tubes to maintain.
