The CZ 457 Varmint .22LR bolt-action rifle delivers the precision and reliability you need for target shooting, small-game hunting, and rimfire competition. This Czech-made platform pairs a stout cold hammer-forged barrel with a classically designed Turkish walnut stock, creating a rifle that's equally at home on the range or in the field. The 20.5-inch heavy barrel isn't just for looks—it dampens vibration and cycles well across a broad spectrum of .22 LR loads, so you're not locked into premium ammunition to shoot accurately.
Built on CZ's proven 457 action, the Varmint model features a fully adjustable trigger that rewards precision shooters with crisp, clean breaks. The two-position push-to-fire safety keeps things straightforward and reliable. Weighing just over 7 pounds, it's light enough to carry all day but substantial enough to manage recoil and barrel vibration. The Turkish walnut stock sports an American-style comb for comfortable scope shooting and a wide, flat forend that partners naturally with a shooting bag—no awkward shims or wedges needed. Laser-cut stippling on the grip and forend ensures a secure hold in wet or sweaty conditions.
The 457 Varmint ships with a detachable 5-round magazine and an 11mm dovetail for optics mounting—no integrated sights, so you have a clean platform to build your ideal setup. With a 1:16 twist rate optimized for standard .22 LR bullets and a 13.75-inch length of pull that fits most shooters, this rifle rewards careful technique and good fundamentals with groups that punch above its class.
