For shooters who demand classic looks with modern accuracy, a high-performance rimfire that balances handling, tunability, and conversion potential is essential. Whether you’re training new shooters, sharpening fundamentals at the range, or taking light-field game, a bolt-action rimfire that delivers repeatable groups and intuitive ergonomics is a foundation-level tool for serious shooters.

CZ 457 AMERICAN brings match-grade features into a traditional walnut-stocked package. The left-handed .22 LR model features a 24.8-inch threaded barrel, match chamber, an innovative bedding system, and a user-tunable trigger — all designed to out-perform many competitors in its class. The rifle’s modular design also allows quick conversion to other common rimfire calibers by swapping barrels, and it ships with one 5-round magazine. Priced at $831.99, this CZ offering embodies classic American sport gun styling while integrating modern accuracy upgrades.

Design and accuracy features

The CZ 457 AMERICAN’s match chamber and upgraded bedding system are the heart of its accuracy package. Match chambers promote consistent bullet release and ignition, reducing vertical dispersion. The innovative bedding locks the action into the stock with minimal play, improving shot-to-shot consistency. A user-tunable trigger lets you find a crisp, light pull without sacrificing safe engagement — a priority for precision rimfire work.

Threaded barrel and accessory potential

The 24.8-inch threaded barrel opens the door to muzzle devices and suppressor-ready setups for quieter range sessions and reduced recoil impulse for new shooters. Its left-handed configuration is a notable choice for southpaw shooters and instructors who equip left-hand trainers.

The CZ 457 AMERICAN’s modular barrel system means a single platform can adapt to other rimfire calibers, stretching its utility across multiple roles. The walnut stock combines heritage aesthetics with a comfortable, natural cheek weld for scoped work.
