Precision rimfire rifle competitions have been gaining steam in the
last few years and CZ rifles have been go-to equipment for the sport.
Expanding on our premium offerings, the Varmint Precision Chassis pairs
our heavy-barreled 457 action with an aluminum chassis of our own
design. Equipped with an adjustable Luth-AR stock, an AR-style grip, QD
sling sockets and plenty of M-LOK slots, proper fit and customization
are easy to accomplish.
If we were to pick one thing that our previous rimfire platforms were
lacking, it was an American-style push-to-fire safety — something
Hunter’s Education instructors and 4-H shooting coaches have begged us
to incorporate for years. Though that was the most obvious change, we
also took the opportunity to tweak a load of small things at the same
time. In addition to the receiver-mounted, push-to-fire safety, we
chopped almost an inch of length from the action and slab-sided it to
reduce its footprint and weight.
To make scope fitment easier, we ditched the 90° bolt rotation in
favor of 60°, allowing for larger ocular bell diameters with lower ring
heights. To top it all off, the 457 now features a trigger adjustable
for weight, creep and over-travel.
With the exact same interchangeable barrel system as the 455 and the same
reliable polymer magazine system, the 457 is without a doubt the best
rimfire platform we’ve ever fielded.
