The classic American-style rimfire rifle, this gorgeous 457 has a 20” barrel with no sights and is meant to be topped with a scope. Its Turkish walnut stock has a high, flat comb and a classic checkering pattern. Like all CZ 457s, it has an 11mm dovetail milled into the top of its receiver for attaching scope ring mounts.
One thing CZ’s previous rimfire platforms were lacking, was an American-style push-to-fire safety — something Hunter’s Education instructors and 4-H shooting coaches had begged for them to incorporate for years. Though that was the most obvious change, they took the opportunity to tweak a load of small things at the same time. In addition to the receiver-mounted, push-to-fire safety, almost an inch of length was chopped from the action and it got slab-sided to reduce its footprint and weight.
The stamped bottom metal of the 455 is gone, swapped for a classy two-piece interlocking system. To make scope fitment easier, the 90° bolt rotation was ditched in favor of 60°, allowing for larger ocular bell diameters with lower ring heights. To top it all off, the 457 now features a trigger adjustable for weight, creep and over-travel.
With the exact same swappable barrel system as the 455 and the same reliable polymer magazine system, the 457 is without a doubt the best rimfire platform CZ has ever fielded.
