The New 2019 CZ 457 Family of Rimfire Rifles

Substantial Upgrades Make The CZ 457’s CZ-USA’s Top Rimfire Platform

Kansas City, KS – (ArmsVault.com) – Small-game and youth hunting, Hunter Education training, target practice, and plinking: if any of these shooting sports are on your “to do” list, CZ-USA has a high-quality and affordable CZ 457 rimfire rifle for you and yours.

And, for 2019, CZ-USA has improved and upgraded the CZ 457 family of rimfire rifles to make them even easier to use and accessorize than ever.

All new 457’s now feature an American-style push-to-fire safety–something Hunter Education instructors and 4-H shooting coaches had asked CZ-USA to change. Now, rimfire practice and training with the CZ 457 will mimic and reinforce the safety use on other American-style centerfire and rimfire rifles.

Meantime, CZ-USA also tweaked several smaller features on the CZ 457 line. To make these rifles a bit more comfortable in hand, the actions have been trimmed back nearly one-inch in length, and slab-sided to reduce the footprint and weight of the actions.

To make improve shooting with a scope mounted on the 457’s, CZ-USA ditched the 90º bolt rotation of the past in favor of 60º rotation. This change provides more room between bolt handle and scope for easier cycling of rounds. It also allows for the use of scopes with larger ocular bell diameters and lower ring heights.

To top it all off, there’s no need to buy an expensive after-market trigger with the CZ 457 family of rimfires. The 457’s now feature a trigger adjustable for weight, creep and overtravel, so the trigger can be fine-tuned for each shooter.

At the same time, the 457 family retains the exact same swappable barrel system as the 455 and the same reliable polymer magazine system.

Other features include a detachable magazine system (5, 10, 25 and single-shot adapter available in 22 LR), and a hardy nitride finish that stands up to hard use in the field. For ease of optics mounting, an 11mm dovetail is milled right into the receiver. And, stocks can be interchanged among the various 457 rimfires to better fit individual shooters.

Without a doubt, the new 457 Family of Rimfires is best rimfire platform CZ-USA has ever fielded.
