  • Turkish walnut stock with high, flat comb and classic American-style profile
  • Fully adjustable trigger mechanism allows a crisp, personalized pull weight
  • Push-to-fire safety provides intuitive, reliable control in the field

Who This Is For

The CZ 457 American is ideal for hunters targeting squirrels, rabbits, and prairie dogs who need more reach and energy than .22 LR provides, as well as rimfire precision shooters who appreciate a quality walnut stock and a tunable trigger. It's an excellent choice for anyone ready to step up to a truly refined bolt-action rimfire experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What scopes or rings are compatible with the CZ 457 American?

The CZ 457 American features an 11mm dovetail rail milled directly into the top of the receiver. This is a standard European-style dovetail, so you'll want to use 11mm dovetail scope rings rather than the more common Picatinny or Weaver-style mounts. Many manufacturers — including CZ, Warne, and Leupold — offer compatible rings. A mid-powered rimfire scope in the 3–9x or 4–12x range pairs excellently with the 24.8" barrel for varmint and small game hunting.

How does .22 WMR compare to .22 LR for hunting and pest control?

The .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR) offers significantly more velocity and energy than standard .22 LR. Typical .22 WMR loads push a 40-grain bullet to around 1,875 fps, generating roughly 315 ft-lbs of muzzle energy — approximately double that of .22 LR. This makes it a far more effective choice for extending your effective range on varmints, prairie dogs, and larger small game like rabbits and raccoons out to 100 yards and beyond.

Is the trigger on the CZ 457 American adjustable, and what pull weights can it achieve?

Yes — the CZ 457 series features a fully adjustable trigger mechanism that can be tuned for pull weight, overtravel, and take-up. Out of the box it is set to a safe and comfortable pull, but gunsmiths or experienced owners can adjust it down to a very crisp, competition-friendly weight. This adjustability is one of the key features that sets the 457 platform apart from other rimfire bolt guns in its price range.
