CZ 457 Varmint .17 HMR 20.5" Walnut Stock
CZ's 457 Varmint delivers precision rimfire performance with a heavy .866" barrel, Turkish walnut stock, and fully adjustable trigger. Ideal for target shooting and varmint hunting.
CZ 457 Varmint: Purpose-Built Rimfire Accuracy
The CZ 457 Varmint represents the company's commitment to delivering genuine precision in a rimfire platform. This is not a casual plinker—it's a serious tool for shooters who demand accuracy.
Barrel and Action Design
The heavy .866" cylindrical barrel is the foundation of this rifle's performance. Heavy barrels provide superior harmonic stability, allowing the 457 Varmint to shoot consistently across a wide variety of .17 HMR loads. The cold hammer-forged barrel ensures durability and accuracy from the first shot.
CZ engineered the action with practical efficiency in mind. The receiver is compact and slab-sided to reduce unnecessary weight and footprint, while maintaining the strength required for reliable operation. The 1:9 twist rate is optimized for .17 HMR ballistics.
Stock and Ergonomics
The Turkish walnut varmint-style stock balances tradition with function. An American-style comb positions your eye correctly for scope use, while the wide, flat forend provides a stable platform for sandbag or rest shooting. Laser-cut stippling on the grip areas ensures positive control in all conditions.
Controls and Safety
A two-position push-to-fire safety mounted on the receiver keeps your thumb in the fight. The fully adjustable trigger allows you to dial in the break that works for your shooting style and technique.
