CZ 457 Varmint MTR .22 LR 20.5" 5+1 Bolt Action Rifle - Turkish Walnut Stock - New

The CZ 457 Varmint MTR (Match Target Rifle) represents the pinnacle of CZ's legendary rimfire heritage, combining over 75 years of precision rifle manufacturing from the Czech Republic with modern match-grade engineering. Built on the acclaimed CZ 457 platform, this rifle features critical improvements over the previous 452 and 455 series: a 60-degree bolt throw for faster cycling under optics, a fully adjustable trigger (1.8-3.4 lbf) that requires no disassembly to tune, a reversed safety that now matches industry standards, and an advanced bedding system that maintains accuracy despite temperature and humidity changes. The .22 LR chambering makes this an ideal precision trainer for NRL22 competition, varmint hunting, or economical long-range practice.

What sets the Varmint MTR apart is its match-grade chamber cut to minimum CIP tolerances—the tightest standard chamber specification allowed—paired with a cold hammer-forged and lapped 20.5-inch heavy barrel with a 1:16" twist rate. This heavy varmint profile barrel provides exceptional heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions and delivers outstanding harmonic stability for consistent accuracy. CZ guarantees 15mm groups at 50 meters (approximately 0.6 MOA) with quality ammunition. The barrel comes threaded for suppressor or muzzle device attachment, and thanks to the 457's modular design, the entire barrel can be user-swapped for different calibers (17 HMR, 22 WMR) without gunsmithing.

The rifle wears a premium Turkish walnut stock with a fixed target-style design that balances traditional aesthetics with ergonomic precision shooting geometry. At 7.08 pounds, this rifle provides a stable platform for bench, prone, and positional shooting without being overly heavy. The two-position safety is intuitive and accessible, while the lightened striker ensures quick lock time and reduces vibration for improved accuracy. The 5-round detachable magazine feeds reliably and is compatible with magazines from the earlier CZ 452/455 series, ensuring wide availability and cross-compatibility.

This brand new CZ 457 Varmint MTR is perfect for precision rimfire competitors, long-range .22 LR shooters, varmint hunters demanding sub-MOA accuracy, and centerfire rifle competitors seeking an economical trainer that mirrors their competition rifle's feel. Whether you're punching paper at 100+ yards, competing in NRL22 matches, or taking ethical shots on small game and varmints, the CZ 457 Varmint MTR delivers match-grade performance in a beautifully crafted package.
