Design and features that matter

The 457 is CZ’s premier rimfire platform, and the Varmint model emphasizes a stiffer, heavier barrel profile to maintain point-of-impact across strings of fire. The heavy contour barrel reduces harmonics and helps the rifle remain accurate with a wide variety of .22 LR loads — from low-velocity rounds to high-velocity target ammunition.

Action, trigger, and ergonomics

The 60-degree bolt throw is a practical improvement over traditional designs, clearing most optics and allowing for faster bolt cycling during follow-up shots. The adjustable trigger offers shooters a chance to fine-tune break and takeup, which is critical when chasing sub-MOA groups with .22 LR. As a left-handed model, the controls and bolt orientation are optimized for left-side operation, improving safety and comfort for left-handed shooters.

Chambering and applications

Chambered in .22 LR, this rifle is ideal for precision target shooting, small-bore competitions, and training drills where low recoil and economical ammunition make high-volume practice possible. The drilled and tapped receiver simplifies scope mounting for optics professionals and hobbyists alike.

At a listed price of $699.99, the CZ 457 VARMINT LH offers a premium rimfire experience with features typically found on higher-priced rifles. View product details and pricing
