There is a reason the CZ 457 keeps coming up whenever people talk about the best rimfire bolt guns you can buy, and the American in .22 WMR might be the prettiest way to get into the platform. The Turkish walnut stock wears a high, flat comb and classic checkering with a fleur-de-lis touch at the grip, giving it that traditional American sporter look that never goes out of style. Chambered in .22 Magnum, it has enough reach and punch to handle squirrels, rabbits, and pest control out well past typical .22 LR distances.
The 24.8 inch cold hammer forged barrel with a 1:16 twist is the heart of this rifle, and it is the same barrel-making process CZ uses across its centerfire lineup. Owners consistently report tight groups with ammo the rifle likes, and the fully adjustable trigger lets you dial in weight, creep, and overtravel until the break feels just right. The 457 action is shorter and slab-sided compared to the old 455, which trims weight and gives it a trim, balanced feel at around 6.2 pounds. The 60 degree bolt throw keeps your knuckles clear of low-mounted scopes and makes cycling quick.
There are no iron sights on this one, and that is by design. The receiver has an 11mm dovetail milled right into the top, so you can clamp on rimfire rings and get a scope mounted in minutes. With the long sight radius irrelevant, all that barrel length goes toward velocity and a quiet, steady hold. The push-to-fire safety is intuitive for anyone raised on American bolt guns, and you can remove the bolt and check the chamber with the safety engaged.
Feeding comes from a detachable 5 round polymer magazine, the same reliable system CZ has trusted for years. Add in the swappable barrel system that lets the 457 platform change calibers down the road, and this is a rifle that earns a permanent spot in the safe rather than a trip to the trade-in counter.
No, this model ships without iron sights or an optic. The receiver has an 11mm dovetail milled into the top for mounting scope rings, so plan on adding a rimfire scope before your first range trip. Make sure you pick rings sized for an 11mm dovetail rather than a Picatinny rail.
Yes, the 457 has a fully adjustable trigger, which is one of the platform's biggest selling points. You can tune pull weight, creep, and overtravel to your preference. Most owners find it breaks cleanly even at factory settings, but the adjustability lets you fine-tune it for target work.
You can. The 457 uses CZ's swappable barrel system, so you can change to .22 LR or .17 HMR with a barrel set and the right magazine. It carries over compatibility with barrels from the older 455 series too, which makes this one rifle that can cover several rimfire chamberings.
The .22 Magnum runs noticeably faster and hits harder than .22 LR, which extends your effective range on small game and varmints. It is a great choice for squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, and pest work at distances where a .22 LR starts running out of steam. Ammo costs more than .22 LR, so many owners save it for the field and hunt with confidence.
