The CZ 457 Varmint in .17 HMR is a purpose-built rimfire bolt-action rifle for shooters who demand precision on targets and small game. Built on CZ's reputation for accuracy and reliability, the 457 Varmint pairs a heavy cold hammer-forged barrel with a classic walnut stock designed specifically for scope use and precision shooting. If you're looking for a .17 HMR rifle that shoots tight groups and handles a range of ammunition without fussiness, this is a serious contender.
The heavy .866-inch cylindrical barrel does more than look the part—it stabilizes barrel harmonics and allows the rifle to shoot well with varied .17 HMR loads, a real advantage when you're working through different ammunition options. The Turkish walnut stock features an American-style comb positioned for comfortable scope shooting, and the wide, flat forend is built to nestle securely in a sandbag or rest. Laser-cut stippling on the grip surfaces keeps your hold consistent in any weather.
The fully adjustable trigger gives you the break you want, and the two-position push-to-fire safety keeps the action clean and simple. An 11mm dovetail receiver gives you plenty of mounting options for rings and bases. At 7.08 pounds with a 20.5-inch barrel, the 457 Varmint balances enough heft for stability with enough portability for a full day in the field chasing varmints or punching paper at the range.
