description CZ 457 Overview

The CZ 457 is a Czech-made bolt-action rimfire rifle introduced in 2019 as the direct successor to the highly successful CZ 455 platform. This modular rifle system is chambered in .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR. It features a refined 60-degree bolt throw for better scope clearance, an interchangeable barrel system, and a push-to-fire safety, all aimed at improving ergonomics for precision shooters and hunters.

help CZ 457 FAQ

What makes the CZ 457 better than the older CZ 455?

Introduced in 2019, the modular rimfire rifle features a new highly adjustable trigger mechanism that no longer requires taking up the trigger pull to dry-fire. It also replaced the 455's threaded barrel interface with a robust barrel nut system, allowing users to easily swap barrels.

Can I shoot .17 HMR and .22 WMR out of a CZ 457?

Yes, while the rifle is primarily chambered in .22 LR, its modular platform means you can easily swap the barrel and magazine to fire other calibers. You can convert it to shoot .17 HMR or .22 WMR simply by changing the barrel head.

Are CZ 457 barrels threaded for suppressors?

Many CZ 457 models come with threaded muzzles straight from the factory, allowing you to easily attach a muzzle brake or a .22 caliber suppressor. However, buyers should always verify the specific model, as some heavy target barrels are unthreaded.

Does the CZ 457 have a replaceable bolt face?

Yes, unlike older CZ rimfire models, the 457 utilizes an interchangeable bolt face system. This means you don't need to buy an entirely new bolt assembly if you decide to convert your rifle to a different rimfire caliber.
