CZ-USA 457 American 22wmr 24.8" 5-Round Walnut Stock Rifle

The CZ-USA 457 American 22 WMR 24.8" 5-Round Walnut Stock Rifle represents a purpose-built rimfire platform engineered for precision shooting and small-game hunting. Purpose-designed for shooters who demand accuracy without the recoil and expense of centerfire cartridges, this rifle bridges the gap between casual plinking and serious competitive marksmanship. The .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) chambering delivers sufficient velocity and energy for effective medium-range performance while maintaining shooter control and barrel longevity—critical for training applications and extended range sessions.

Built on CZ's proven 457 action, this American variant combines a robust, inherently accurate bolt mechanism with a 24.8-inch barrel optimized for the .22 WMR cartridge to maximize velocity and shot-to-shot consistency. The walnut stock provides both ergonomic control and weather resistance while maintaining a classic profile that doesn't compromise field handling. At 6.56 pounds, the rifle balances point-ability with sufficient mass for stable shooting from field positions, benches, or shooting rests. The 5-round magazine capacity supports practical training drills and competitive shooting formats, while the bolt-action design ensures reliable feeding and extraction across ammunition variations.

This rifle serves competitive smallbore shooters, firearms trainers, and hunters seeking a dependable platform for varmint control and small-game harvesting. The modular CZ 457 design accommodates optic mounting and accepts standard rimfire scope rings, enabling shooters to tailor the platform for precision or hunting configurations. Law enforcement and military personnel often use .22 WMR rifles for transition training and marksmanship foundation work due to minimal recoil and predictable ballistics. The American configuration meets the needs of shooters who prioritize accuracy, durability, and traditional stock aesthetics in a compact, field-ready package.
