CZ USA 457 ProVarmint .22LR 16.50" 5+1 Bolt Action Rifle (Black)

The CZ 457 ProVarmint 22 LR is a robust and versatile bolt-action rifle designed for precision and performance. Featuring a heavy 16.5-inch barrel threaded 1/2x28, this rifle is ideal for use with a suppressor or other muzzle devices. The black-painted laminate stock is not only aesthetically pleasing but also incorporates features typically found on more expensive rifles, providing excellent value.

One of the standout features of the CZ 457 ProVarmint is its receiver-mounted, push-to-fire safety, which was developed in response to feedback from Hunter’s Education instructors and 4-H shooting coaches. The action has been shortened by almost an inch and slab-sided to reduce its footprint, making it more compact and lightweight. The rifle also features a classy two-piece interlocking bottom metal system, replacing the stamped bottom metal of the previous 455 models.

To enhance scope fitment, the bolt rotation has been adjusted from 90 degrees to 60 degrees, allowing for larger ocular bell diameters with lower ring heights. This model also includes an integral 11mm dovetail for easy mounting of optics. The fully adjustable trigger allows for customization of weight, creep, and over-travel, ensuring a tailored shooting experience.

The CZ 457 ProVarmint utilizes the same swappable barrel system as the 455 series and employs a reliable polymer magazine system. This rifle's cold hammer-forged steel barrel ensures exceptional durability and accuracy, with a 1:16 twist rate that optimizes the performance of the 22 LR cartridge.

With a capacity of 5+1 rounds and a detachable magazine, the CZ 457 ProVarmint is designed for right-handed shooters and offers a two-position safety mechanism for added security. The overall length of pull is 13.75 inches, providing a comfortable shooting position.

Perfect for hunting and target shooting, the CZ 457 ProVarmint Suppressor-Ready rifle combines high-quality construction, innovative features, and excellent value, making it a top choice for those seeking a reliable and precise rimfire rifle.
