CZ-USA CZ 457 Varmint .22 Magnum Bolt Action Rifle Drawing from a long lineage of Czech-made precision rifles, the CZ 457 Varmint combines a fine swappable barrel system, adjustable trigger, and CZ's legendary cold hammer-forged barrel to create CZ's finest Rimfire Rifle. Not only does the 0.866 inch heavy barrel make for good harmonics, it also allows the Varmint to perform well with a wide variety of rimfire loads, translating into an accurate platform for shooting targets or taking game. The Turkish walnut stock has an American-style comb for use with a scope and a wide, flat forend that rides a sandbag well. Laser-cut stippling gives grip fore and aft. If we were to pick one thing that CZ's previous rimfire platforms were lacking, it was an American-style push-to-fire safety-something Hunter's Education instructors and 4-H shooting coaches have begged them to incorporate for years. The new 457 Varmint is equipped with the push-to-fire safety. Plus, CZ also took the opportunity to tweak a load of small things at the same time. In addition to the receiver-mounted, push-to-fire safety, they chopped almost an inch of length from the action and slab-sided it to reduce its footprint and weight. The stamped bottom metal of the 455 is gone, swapped for a classy 2-piece interlocking system. To make scope fitment easier, CZ ditched the 90 degrees bolt rotation in favor of 60 degrees, allowing for larger ocular bell diameters with lower ring heights. To top it all off, the 457 now features a trigger adjustable for weight, creep and over-travel. With the exact same swappable barrel system as the 455 and the same reliable polymer magazine system, the 457 is without a doubt the best rimfire platform CZ has ever fielded. 0.866 inch cold hammer-forged heavy barrel delivers superior accuracy Swappable barrel system allows you to switch chambering American-style Turkish walnut stock is flat on the bottom to ride a sandbag New American-style push-to-fire
