Introducing the CZ 457 LRP Rimfire Rifle
For serious long-range rimfire shooters, the CZ 457 LRP (Long Range Precision) stands as a dedicated platform built to push the limits of the .22 LR cartridge. This isn’t just another model in the CZ 457 family; it’s a specialized rifle meticulously engineered for performance in NRL22-style competitions and extended-range plinking. The CZ 457 LRP combines the legendary accuracy of CZ with a purpose-driven design that will help you connect with targets at distances you never thought possible with a rimfire.
Key Features for Long-Range Performance
The CZ 457 LRP is packed with features that set it apart, all focused on enhancing precision and user ergonomics for long-distance shooting.
- Match-Grade Barrel and Chamber: At the heart of the rifle is a heavy, 20-inch fluted, cold hammer-forged barrel. This barrel is paired with a tight “match” chamber, a feature typically found on dedicated competition rifles. This combination ensures consistent bullet seating and superior accuracy, allowing the rifle to achieve its full potential with high-quality ammunition.
- Adjustable Target Stock: The rifle is equipped with a black, target-style stock with a soft-touch finish. Its ergonomic design includes a prominent pistol grip, a wide forend for stability on a bag or bipod, and a prominent rear hook to cradle the shooter’s support hand. Critically, the length of pull and cheekpiece are fully adjustable, allowing a shooter to fine-tune the rifle’s fit for maximum comfort and consistency.
- Integrated 25 MOA Rail: For long-range rimfire shooting, having enough elevation adjustment for your scope is essential. The CZ 457 LRP comes with a Picatinny rail that has a built-in 25 MOA of inclination. This pre-canted rail allows you to get the most out of your optic’s elevation travel, ensuring you can dial in for shots well beyond 100 yards.
- Modernized Action and Controls: The LRP benefits from the same modern upgrades as the rest of the 457 line, including a fully adjustable trigger and a 60-degree bolt throw. This shorter bolt lift provides ample clearance for a large-objective scope and makes for fast, fluid cycling, which is a major advantage in competition.
Who is the CZ 457 LRP For?
The CZ 457 LRP is the ideal rifle for the shooter who is passionate about long-range rimfire shooting. It’s for the person who wants a rifle that is competition-ready straight from the factory, without the need for extensive—and expensive—aftermarket modifications. The LRP represents a significant investment, but it offers a level of out-of-the-box performance, adjustability, and durability that makes it a leader in the precision rimfire category.
