In 1854, Smith & Wesson founders Horace Smith & Daniel Wesson patented their first lever gun. To honor that historic milestone, the Model 1854 Series was born. Additionally, it is designed to embody the feel of Smith & Wesson’s revered large-frame revolvers and their smooth action. As a result, this rifle series delivers a platform built on craftsmanship, reliability, and performance.
