CZ-USA 457 One Varm .22 LR 16.5" 5-Round Laminate Stock Rifle

The CZ-USA 457 One Varm .22 LR 16.5" 5-Round Laminate Stock Rifle is purpose-built for precision shooters who demand a compact platform without sacrificing accuracy or reliability. This rifle excels as a trainer, varmint control tool, and small-game hunting rifle for those seeking a lightweight, maneuverable .22 LR that delivers consistent performance in the field. The 16.5-inch barrel reduces overall length while maintaining the velocity and accuracy standards CZ is known for, making it ideal for hunters navigating tight brush or shooters working from vehicles in predator control operations.

Built on CZ's proven 457 platform, this rifle features a laminate stock that provides superior dimensional stability and durability compared to wood, ensuring consistent point-of-aim regardless of weather or temperature fluctuations—critical for precision work. The 5-round magazine capacity balances portability with realistic field shooting; the .22 LR chambering delivers minimal recoil and cost-effective ammunition for extended practice sessions or high-volume varmint work. At 9.06 lbs, the rifle remains handy enough for one-handed carry during long days afield while retaining sufficient mass to reduce shooter fatigue and control minor vibration during aimed fire. The compact overall length of 49 inches makes this rifle equally at home in a truck rack or in tight quarters where longer platforms become cumbersome.

Law enforcement and military trainers value the CZ 457 One Varm for basic marksmanship instruction and low-cost qualification training, where high round counts justify the economical .22 LR cartridge. Varmint hunters and predator control specialists benefit from its compact profile when working populated areas or terrain requiring frequent repositioning. The rifle's modular design accepts standard CZ 457 aftermarket triggers, stocks, and optic mounts, allowing customization to individual preference. Standard .22 LR ammunition from any major manufacturer feeds reliably through the 5-round magazine, and the platform's forgiving nature makes it an excellent choice for younger or recoil-sensitive shooters entering marksmanship disciplines.
