Introducing the CZ 457 Rimfire Rifle
In the world of rimfire rifles, the name CZ is synonymous with exceptional quality, accuracy, and value. The CZ 457 series builds on this legacy, offering a rifle that is a perfect blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern engineering. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor, a casual plinker, or a new shooter looking for the best possible training rifle, the CZ 457 stands out as a top-tier choice.
Precision by Design
The CZ 457 isn’t just a basic rimfire rifle; it’s a meticulously designed platform built for precision and reliability. Every feature has been carefully considered to provide the best possible shooting experience.
- Exceptional Accuracy: The heart of the CZ 457’s performance is its cold hammer-forged barrel. This manufacturing process creates a highly accurate and durable barrel, ensuring consistent, sub-MOA groups with quality ammunition. Select models also feature a “match” chamber, pushing the limits of accuracy for competitive shooting.
- A Modernized Action: CZ took the proven design of the CZ 455 and made a number of significant improvements. The CZ 457 features a new, user-adjustable trigger that can be tuned for pull weight, sear engagement, and over-travel, allowing for a crisp, clean break. The bolt lift has been reduced from 90 to 60 degrees, providing ample clearance for a mounted scope and making for faster, smoother cycling.
- Intuitive Safety and Controls: The CZ 457 introduces a modern, push-to-fire safety on the right side of the receiver for natural and intuitive operation. The bolt can also be safely removed without having to manipulate the trigger, a valuable safety feature for both new and experienced shooters.
A Model for Every Shooter
One of the great strengths of the CZ 457 is its incredible versatility. The series includes a wide range of models, each designed for a specific purpose, including:
- CZ 457 Synthetic: A rugged, lightweight model perfect for hunting small game in any weather.
- CZ 457 Varmint: Featuring a heavy barrel and a classic wood stock, this model is built for bench rest shooting and long-range accuracy.
- CZ 457 MTR (Match Target Rifle): With its precision match chamber and beautiful walnut stock, this is a top choice for rimfire competition.
The CZ 457 series is also available in different calibers, including .22 LR, .17 HMR, and .22 WMR, and the system is designed to allow for easy barrel swaps between calibers.
Whether you are looking for a highly accurate target rifle, a durable field gun, or simply a beautiful plinker, the CZ 457 has a model that will exceed your expectations. Its reputation for superior quality and performance at a reasonable price makes it a leader in the rimfire category.
