CZ-USA CZ 457 Lux .22LR Bolt-Action Rifle - Brown Wood Stock - Model 02301

The CZ-USA CZ 457 Lux .22LR bolt-action rifle brings European craftsmanship and modern American safety features to a rimfire platform designed for shooters who appreciate both precision and tradition. Built on CZ's proven 457 action, the Lux combines a Turkish walnut stock with a thoughtfully redesigned receiver and trigger system that makes it equally at home in the hands of a serious plinker, a young shooter learning fundamentals, or a hunter pursuing small game with accuracy and style.

What sets the 457 Lux apart from typical .22 rimfires is CZ's attention to details that matter. The receiver-mounted push-to-fire safety—long requested by hunters' education and 4-H instructors—makes it intuitive for new shooters and safer in the field. The action itself is more compact than its predecessor, with a slab-sided profile that reduces both footprint and weight without sacrificing rigidity. The two-piece interlocking bottom metal is a significant upgrade over stamped designs, providing durability and that satisfying mechanical feel. The fully adjustable trigger lets you dial in weight and over-travel to your preference, while the 60-degree bolt throw (down from 90 degrees) opens up your optics choices if you decide to mount a scope on the integrated 11mm dovetail.

The 24.8-inch cold hammer-forged barrel shoots a 1:16 twist optimized for .22 LR ammunition, and the rifle comes topped with crisp adjustable iron sights that work beautifully with the ergonomic cheekpiece and comb molded into the walnut stock. At 6.1 pounds with a 13.75-inch length of pull, it balances effortlessly and points naturally. The detachable 5-round magazine loads smoothly and seats securely. Best of all, the 457 Lux uses CZ's proven interchangeable barrel system—if you want to shoot a different rimfire chambering down the road, a second barrel set transforms your rifle in minutes.

This is a rifle that respects the fundamentals: clean lines, honest construction, and the kind of performance you actually feel when you're behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount a scope on the CZ 457 Lux?

Yes. The rifle features an 11mm dovetail on the receiver ready for scope rings or mounts. The 60-degree bolt throw is designed to clear larger objective lenses with lower ring heights, giving you more flexibility if you choose to go optic-only or pair iron sights with a scope.

What's included, and what magazines are compatible?

The rifle comes with one 5-round detachable polymer magazine. The 457 Lux uses CZ's polymer magazine system, which is the same proven design across the 457 line.

Can I switch calibers or barrel lengths on this rifle?

Yes—one of the standout features of the 457 platform is the interchangeable barrel system. With the purchase of a second barrel set (sold separately), you can quickly swap to a different .22 rimfire chambering without tools or gunsmithing. This makes it easy to expand your 457's versatility over time.

Is the trigger adjustable?

Absolutely. The 457 Lux has a fully adjustable trigger that lets you dial in both pull weight and over-travel, so you can tailor the break to your preference and shooting style.
