The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 America 250 is a limited-edition lever-action rifle in .44 Magnum built to mark America’s 250th birthday (brand part no. 14969). Walnut furniture sits on a stainless steel barrel and receiver with a black Armornite finish, and the receiver carries laser engraving. The 19.25-inch barrel feeds from a magazine that holds nine rounds with one more in the chamber, and a gold bead front sight keeps the iron-sight picture simple. Smith & Wesson gives the platform a flat-face trigger and a large lever loop, so it works with gloves on in deer season or on a cold range day. A Picatinny rail runs along the top for shooters who want to mount an optic.
