There's a reason the CZ 457 series keeps coming up whenever people talk about the best rimfire rifles you can buy without spending custom-shop money. The 457 American is the classic sporter of the lineup, wearing a Turkish walnut stock with a high, flat comb and traditional checkering that looks the part in the field or on the bench. Under that wood sits CZ's modernized 457 action, which was shortened and slab-sided compared to the old 455 to trim weight and bulk, and it shows in how the rifle carries at around 6.17 pounds.
The 24.8 inch cold hammer forged barrel with a 1:16 twist is the heart of this rifle, and it has a well-earned reputation for stacking rounds with ammo it likes. The trigger is adjustable for weight, creep, and overtravel, so you can dial it down to a clean, crisp break instead of living with a factory pull that fights you. The 60 degree bolt throw gives your hand plenty of clearance under a scope and makes cycling quick and smooth. Speaking of glass, there are no iron sights here by design. The receiver has an integrated 11mm dovetail milled right into the top, so you can mount rings low and get the most out of that flat comb.
CZ's push-to-fire safety sits on the receiver where your thumb finds it naturally, and the bolt comes out for cleaning with a separate release, no trigger pull required. The detachable 5-round polymer magazine is the same proven system CZ has run for years, and spares are easy to find. Whether you want a squirrel rifle that will outlive you, a trainer that mirrors a full-size bolt gun, or just a .22 that rewards good fundamentals, the 457 American covers all of it with a level of fit and finish that stands out in the rimfire world. Top it with a quality scope and it will likely become the rifle you reach for most.
No, this model ships without sights and is built to be scoped. The receiver has an 11mm dovetail machined directly into the top, so all you need is a set of 11mm rimfire rings or a dovetail-to-Picatinny adapter to mount the optic of your choice. The high, flat comb on the walnut stock lines your eye up nicely behind a scope.
Yes, and it is one of the biggest upgrades CZ made with the 457 platform. The trigger is adjustable for pull weight, creep, and overtravel, so you can tune it to a clean, light break without any aftermarket parts. Most owners find a little adjustment goes a long way toward tightening up groups.
They do. The 457 uses the same reliable polymer magazine system CZ ran in the 455, so existing mags carry over. This rifle includes one 5-round magazine, and higher capacity CZ rimfire magazines are widely available if you want spares for the range.
The 24.8 inch cold hammer forged barrel has a strong reputation for accuracy, and with match-grade ammo these rifles routinely print tight groups at 50 yards and beyond. Like any rimfire, it pays to test a few different loads since every barrel has its favorites. Between the barrel quality and the adjustable trigger, this platform is a common pick for precision rimfire matches and serious small game work.
