Key Features
- Adjustable Trigger — The CZ 457’s trigger is user-adjustable for pull weight and overtravel, allowing the shooter to dial in a crisp break without a gunsmith visit. This translates to tighter groups and more consistent shot release under field conditions.
- Turkish Walnut Stock — The European-style stock features a full pistol grip, high comb, and a schnabel fore-end. It provides a natural cheek weld and balanced weight distribution for offhand shooting and positional work.
- Integrated 11mm Dovetail — The receiver is machined with a full-length 11mm dovetail, eliminating the need for aftermarket scope bases. It accepts standard rimfire rings directly, saving weight and cost.
- Push-to-Fire Safety — A receiver-mounted safety that is intuitive and ambidextrous. It locks the trigger and bolt simultaneously, and the push-to-fire design prevents accidental discharge during manipulation.
- Detachable 5-Round Magazine — The steel box magazine is flush-fitting and releases via a button at the front of the trigger guard. It feeds .17 HMR reliably and allows rapid reloads without disturbing the shooting position.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for precision rimfire shooters, varmint hunters, and small-bore competitors who need a reliable, accurate platform without the weight of a full competition rig. Law enforcement trainers use it for low-cost marksmanship drills. Hunters targeting ground squirrels, prairie dogs, and similar varmints will appreciate the flat trajectory of .17 HMR out to 250+ yards.
Pros / Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, adjustable trigger, classic walnut stock, integrated dovetail, reliable feeding, easy maintenance.
- Cons: The factory stock does not have a removable cheek riser, which may limit comb height adjustment for shooters using high-mounted optics. This is a minor ergonomic limitation for some users.
