CZ 457 Varmint MTR .22 LR Match Target Rifle

CZ 457 Varmint MTR: Precision Rimfire Excellence

The CZ 457 Varmint Match Target Rifle represents a significant step forward in precision .22 LR shooting. This rifle is built for shooters who demand accuracy and understand that match-grade components make a measurable difference downrange.

Match-Grade Engineering

The heart of this rifle is its match chamber, cut to the tightest specification that CIP standards allow. This precision tolerancing means the 457 MTR will extract maximum accuracy from quality ammunition. The cold hammer-forged barrel measures 20.5 inches with a 1:16 twist rate, optimized for standard .22 LR target loads.

Ergonomic Design

The Turkish walnut stock is purpose-built for varmint and target shooting:

• Vertical grip features a comfortable palm swell with laser stippling for secure purchase
• Large, flat forend provides a stable platform for precision shooting
• Dual QD studs allow you to mount a bipod and sling simultaneously
• Wrap-around stippling on the forend ensures a confident grip in all conditions
• 13.75-inch length of pull accommodates most shooters comfortably

Refined Action

The receiver has been slab-sided and shortened compared to standard 457 models, reducing overall footprint and weight to 7.08 pounds. The 60-degree bolt rotation allows for larger objective lens diameters with lower ring heights—a genuine advantage for scope mounting.

Trigger Control

The fully adjustable trigger can be tuned for weight, creep, and over-travel, allowing you to dial in the exact feel you prefer. A two-position push-to-fire safety provides reliable engagement without compromising speed.

Practical Features

• 5-round detachable magazine for efficient reloading
• 11mm dovetail for mounting iron sights or optics
• No integrated sights, keeping the receiver profile clean for scope mounting

The CZ 457 Varmint MTR is a serious tool for precision .22 LR shooting, whether you're training, competing, or working varmints at distance.
