The CZ 457 American in .22LR is a purpose-built rimfire bolt-action rifle that bridges classic styling with modern precision. Whether you're setting up a dedicated .22 for small-game hunting, target practice, or training a new shooter, this rifle delivers the accuracy and reliability CZ is known for in a clean, minimalist platform. The 24.8-inch cold hammer-forged barrel pairs with a 1:16 twist rate optimized for standard and high-velocity .22LR ammunition, while the American-style Turkish walnut stock with high flat comb and checkering gives you a rifle that handles as good as it looks.
This is a scope-ready rifle from the factory. The receiver is milled with an 11mm dovetail for direct mounting of scope rings—no rail adapter needed—and there are no iron sights installed, keeping the platform clean and ready for your glass. The 5-round detachable magazine keeps feeding simple and reliable, while the adjustable trigger lets you dial in the break to your preference. At 6.17 pounds, it's light enough for all-day carry through the field, yet solid enough to shoot tight groups from a bench.
The CZ 457 American appeals to shooters who value traditional lines and genuine functionality over tactical aesthetics. It's a no-nonsense .22 that doesn't try to be something it isn't, making it a natural choice for hunters working smaller game, competitive rimfire shooters, or anyone building a straightforward, reliable .22 rifle for serious use.
