About the CZ 457
The CZ 457 is a modular bolt-action rimfire rifle platform succeeding the legendary CZ 455. Featuring user-swappable barrels, a fully adjustable trigger (8-15 N), and cold hammer-forged barrels with a 1 MOA accuracy guarantee, the 457 is available in over 20 configurations ranging from traditional hunting to precision competition. Available in .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR.
The CZ rimfire rifle lineage stretches back decades, with the 452 and 455 establishing a near-legendary reputation for accuracy at modest prices. The 457 refined the platform with a better trigger and full modularity, making it the rimfire of choice for trainers, hunters, and precision shooters worldwide.
