About the CZ 457 Varmint
The CZ 457 Varmint features a heavy 22mm-diameter barrel for enhanced accuracy. The American-style walnut stock and heavy profile make it ideal for stationary precision shooting.
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.
