The CZ 457 features a heavy, .866″ profile barrel. Not only does a heavier barrel make for good harmonics, it also allows it to perform with a variety of rimfire loads. The American-Style Turkish walnut stock offers proper comb for scope use and laser cut stippling offers adequate grip.

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.
