The CZ 457 PRO VARM 22LR Bolt Action Rifle is engineered for operational consistency and precision in rimfire applications. This platform is specifically configured for varmint mitigation and disciplined target engagements, extending CZ’s established heritage of reliable rimfire firearm manufacturing. Its design integrates critical components to optimize shot placement and user utility.
Key Features
Heavy Profile Barrel
The 16.5-inch heavy contour barrel is designed to mitigate harmonic resonance and thermal distortion under sustained firing schedules. This contributes directly to maintaining consistent shot group dispersion. The reduced barrel length also enhances structural rigidity, an attribute critical for maintaining zero and precision.
Threaded Muzzle
The muzzle is precision-threaded to 1/2×28, facilitating direct integration of various muzzle devices, including sound suppressors. This feature expands the rifle’s operational versatility, enabling quieter engagement profiles or tailored recoil management through compatible accessories.
Laminate Stock
A black-painted laminate stock provides a robust and stable foundation for the action. Its composite construction delivers superior resistance to environmental shifts (e.g., humidity, temperature fluctuations) that can compromise the integrity of traditional wood stocks. This consistent bedding interface is fundamental to preserving the rifle’s inherent accuracy potential.
Dependable Bolt Action
The CZ 457 bolt action mechanism is characterized by its smooth operational cycle and reliable feeding from the 5-round detachable magazine. This mechanical efficiency is essential for rapid target acquisition and consistent follow-up shot capability, whether in competitive scenarios or field applications.
