CZ 457 American 22 LR | Walnut, 5rd | MFG# 02310

The CZ 457 American is a full-size bolt-action rimfire built around an American-style Turkish walnut stock and a receiver machined with an 11mm dovetail for scope rings. It features an adjustable trigger and a receiver-mounted two-position push-to-fire safety intended for straightforward handling and safe carrying in the field. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 — a durable, affordable scope that matches the 457’s rimfire precision and hunting/target roles.

Applications: target/rimfire practice and small-game hunting.
