DESCRIPTION

The CZ 457 Synthetic .22 LR is a lightweight, weather-resistant bolt-action rimfire built for hunting, farm use and recreational target shooting.

Its American-style polymer stock features a comfortable soft-touch finish and excellent resistance to moisture, heat and cold. Metal components receive CZ’s durable BobOx anti-corrosion treatment, making this model particularly well suited to regular field use and changing Australian conditions.

The cold hammer-forged sporter barrel is marketed as 20 inches and features a 1/2"×20 UNF threaded muzzle with a thread protector. Its light profile keeps the rifle manoeuvrable without the additional weight of a varmint barrel.

A steel receiver with an integral 11mm dovetail accepts compatible rimfire scope rings. The CZ 457 action also incorporates a smooth 60-degree bolt lift, adjustable trigger, striker-status indicator and right-side push-to-fire manual safety.

Supplied with a detachable five-round polymer magazine, the CZ 457 Synthetic is a practical and versatile .22 LR for rabbits, hares, pest control, range practice and general rimfire shooting.

Yes. It includes one detachable five-round polymer magazine. Compatible higher-capacity magazines may be available separately, subject to local laws.

The steel receiver has an integral 11mm rimfire dovetail. Compatible 11mm scope rings or an appropriate adaptor rail are required.

Does this model have open sights?

No. The CZ 457 Synthetic is supplied without open sights and is intended to be fitted with an optic.
