About the CZ 457 American
The CZ 457 American features classic American-style Turkish walnut with fleur-de-lis checkering and a light-profile 24.8" cold hammer-forged barrel.
The CZ 457 replaced the CZ 455 in 2019 with a user-swappable barrel system and improved adjustable trigger, becoming the benchmark for affordable precision rimfire rifles.
