For shooters who value classic European styling paired with modern bolt-action precision, a finely crafted .22 LR rifle offers low-recoil accuracy for range work, training, and small-game hunting. A walnut stock that balances feel and form can dramatically influence follow-up shots and consistent cheek weld.

CZ 457 is a standout in that category: designed in the European style, this Lux-pattern 457 features a hogback stock fashioned from Turkish walnut with an integrated cheekpiece and comb that align naturally with its crisp iron sights. The rifle ships in a black finish and includes one 5‑round magazine, making it range-ready out of the box. Shop this product

Design & ergonomics

The Turkish walnut hogback stock on the CZ 457 provides a traditional silhouette with functional geometry: the comb and cheekpiece position your eye for the factory iron sights while still leaving the 11mm dovetail available for optics. The wood’s grain and contouring improve the natural point of aim and feel heavier than synthetic alternatives without excessive bulk.

Sights, safety, and trigger

Factory iron sights are crisp and paired with a fully adjustable trigger mechanism that lets shooters tune pull weight and travel for precision .22 LR shooting. A two-position, push-to-fire safety simplifies carry and immediate engagement, keeping operation straightforward for new shooters and experienced marksmen alike.

Versatility & practical use

The CZ 457’s 11mm dovetail allows quick optic mounting, and the platform is built for modularity: swapping to a different chambering is achievable with an additional barrel set, extending the rifle’s life and utility. At the listed price of $519.99, this model delivers European fit and finish with practical adaptability.

For backyard plinking, small-game hunting, or as a training rifle to teach fundamentals, the .22 LR chambering combines economical ammo costs with low recoil and predictable ballistics—ideal for building consistent technique. View product details and pricing
