The CZ 457 Varmint in .22 WMR is a precision rimfire bolt-action rifle built for shooters who demand accuracy without compromise. Whether you're zeroing in on prairie dogs, honing your marksmanship at the range, or introducing a younger shooter to centerfire-grade performance in a lighter recoil package, this rifle delivers the kind of inherent accuracy that makes you want to keep shooting. CZ USA's reputation for attention to detail shows in every detail of this varmint platform.
The heart of the 457 Varmint is its cold hammer-forged, heavy cylindrical barrel—.866 inches across and 20.5 inches long. That substantial profile isn't just for looks; a heavier barrel vibrates in more consistent patterns, which translates directly to better shot-to-shot grouping across a wide range of ammunition. The 1:16 twist rate is optimized for .22 WMR ballistics, and the rifle runs clean and reliable through everything from target loads to premium hunting rounds. Five-round detachable magazines keep reloading simple, and the two-position push-to-fire safety gives you positive, intuitive control.
The stock is Turkish walnut finished in brown, shaped in a traditional varmint profile with an American-style comb that naturally aligns your eye behind a scope. A wide, flat foregrip is purpose-built to settle into a sandbag or shooting rest, and laser-cut stippling on the grip areas—both fore and aft—keeps your hands locked in even when things get sweaty. The fully adjustable trigger lets you dial in the break you prefer, and an 11mm dovetail receiver accepts standard rimfire rings for your optic of choice. At 7.08 pounds, it's manageable for offhand work but stable enough for serious accuracy work from the bench. Length of pull is 13.75 inches—a comfortable fit for most shooters without adapters.
This is a rifle that respects your ammunition budget and your time at the range. The .22 WMR gives you genuine hunting capability—legitimate small-game and varmint range—without the blast, recoil, or feeding pickiness of larger calibers. If you've been looking for a bolt-action rimfire that feels like real rifle, this is it.
