CZ 457 ProVarmint, .22LR, 16.5″ Suppressor-Ready Barrel, 5-Round, Black

Always one of CZ’s most popular Varmint models, the Pro Varmint has a heavy 16.5” barrel threaded 1/2×28 for use with a suppressor or other muzzle device you may want.Riding in a black-painted laminate stock, it incorporates features found on much more expensive stocks while not managing to push the price of the rifle through the roof. The short barrel gives plenty of time for the cartridge to get a full burn while increasing the rigidity of the barrel, resulting in a rifle that drives tacks. Quietly.Hunter’s Education instructors and 4-H shooting coaches asked CZ to incorporate an American-style push-to-fire safety for years, and now it’s standard.Though that was the most obvious change, CZ also took the opportunity to tweak a load of small things at the same time. In addition to the receiver-mounted, push-to-fire safety, they chopped almost an inch of length from the action and slab-sided it to reduce its footprint and weight.The stamped bottom metal of the 455 is gone, swapped for a classy two-piece interlocking system. To make scope fitment easier, we ditched the 90° bolt rotation in favor of 60°, allowing for larger ocular bell diameters with lower ring heights. To top it all off, the 457 now features a trigger adjustable for weight, creep and over-travel.With the exact same swappable barrel system as the 455 and the same reliable polymer magazine system, the 457 is without a doubt the best rimfire platform CZ’s ever given us.Chambering: .22 LRBarrel Twist: 1:16Magazine Capacity: 5Magazine Type: DetachableStock: Black painted laminateLength Of Pull: 13.75 inSights: No Sights, Integral 11mm dovetailBarrel: Cold hammer forgedBarrel Length: 16.5 inWeight: 7.3 lbsTrigger Mechanism: Fully adjustableSafety: Two-Position, Push-To-FireManufacturer’s Part #02359UPC: 806703023595This item must be received through an FFL.
