The CZ 457 Varmint Full Size rifle is a purpose-built precision rimfire platform, engineered to deliver consistent accuracy across a broad spectrum of 22 LR ammunition. Utilizing a heavy barrel configuration, this model is optimized for target acquisition and small game applications, establishing itself as a reliable asset for the discerning shooter.
Key Features
Precision Heavy Barrel Configuration
Central to the 457 Varmint’s performance is its .866″ cylindrical heavy barrel. This increased mass contributes to favorable barrel harmonics, enhancing shot-to-shot consistency and mitigating point-of-impact shifts during extended firing sessions. The design also facilitates superior performance across a diverse range of rimfire loads, ensuring precise projectile placement whether engaging paper targets or field game.
Ergonomic and Stable Stock Design
The rifle is integrated with a Turkish walnut stock, featuring an American-style comb specifically dimensioned for optimal scope alignment. Its wide, flat forend is designed to settle securely on sandbags or other shooting rests, providing a stable platform for precision work. Laser-cut stippling is applied to both the forend and pistol grip, ensuring positive shooter control and consistent hand placement under varying conditions.
Optimized Action and System Integration
The CZ 457 action incorporates a receiver-mounted, push-to-fire safety, offering intuitive and secure operation. The action has been re-engineered with a reduced footprint and weight through a shortened length and slab-sided profile, maintaining structural integrity while improving handling characteristics. This model retains the proven swappable barrel system of the CZ 455 series and utilizes the same reliable polymer magazine system, facilitating modularity and consistent feeding.
