CZ 457 American - .22WMR, 24.8"

The CZ 457 American in .22 WMR is a precision-minded rimfire rifle built for small-game hunting, varmint control, and serious target work. Chambered for the high-velocity .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire and fitted with a 24.8" cold-hammer-forged barrel, the 457 American delivers flat trajectories and excellent downrange energy for extended rimfire performance. The ergonomic American-style hardwood stock provides a comfortable cheek weld and a traditional look that balances naturally for off-hand or prone shooting. CZ’s redesigned 457 action offers a short, crisp bolt throw, user-adjustable trigger (factory set to a light, crisp pull), and an easy-to-operate detachable magazine for fast reloads. With tight tolerances, dependable feeding, and excellent out-of-the-box accuracy, the CZ 457 American is equally at home in the blind, on the prairie, or at the range.
