CZ 457 Premium .22 LR Rifle – 24.8" Walnut
European-styled .22 LR with Turkish walnut stock, Monte Carlo cheekpiece, and decorative forend. Features adjustable trigger, tangent rear sight, fiber optic front sight, and threaded muzzle. 5-round magazine, 24.8" cold hammer-forged barrel.
A Modern Classic in European Style
The CZ 457 Premium represents the best of Old World rifle craftsmanship applied to modern .22 LR shooting. This is a rifle built for those who appreciate fine details and genuine performance.
Design and Handling
The 457 Premium's Turkish walnut stock is a study in thoughtful design. The decorative forend tip with Schnabel adds visual appeal while improving handling, and the hog-back profile with Monte Carlo comb and cheekpiece provides natural pointing and consistent scope mounting geometry. At 6.39 pounds, it balances easily in the hands without fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
Sights and Accuracy
This rifle ships with practical iron sights: an adjustable tangent rear sight and fiber optic front sight mounted on an 11mm dovetail. The cold hammer-forged 24.8-inch barrel is threaded 1/2x20 (European standard), allowing suppressor mounting or muzzle device installation. The 1:16 twist rate stabilizes standard and high-velocity .22 LR ammunition equally well.
Controls and Reliability
The two-position push-to-fire safety is mounted on the receiver for positive engagement. The trigger is fully adjustable, allowing shooters to fine-tune break weight and overtravel. The detachable 5-round magazine keeps the rifle trim and handy.
