The Pro Varmint remains one of the most popular Varmint models. It features a heavy 16.5″ barrel and threaded 1/2×28 muzzle that accepts a wide variety of suppressors or muzzle devices. A black painted laminate stock offers features found on more expensive stocks. A shorter barrel allows for plenty of time for a full burn of the cartridge while offering rigidity.

The new 457 series now feature a push safety, adjustable trigger and 60 degree bolt rotation, allowing for larger ocular bell diameters with lower rings. The stamped bottom metal is now replaced with a classy 2-piece interlocking system. Additionally the 457 series utilizes the same swappable barrel system and magazines from the 455.
