CZ 457 series | Military Spot

CZ 457 rimfires are the latest series of famous CZ rimfires. CZ rimfires serve already milions of customers all over the world. Not by accident: CZ is the leader in the rimfire industry for decades. CZ offers the latests series of rimfirse in very wide range of variations:

classic old school wooden design following the style of CZ Brno rimfires,
sport special with duralumin chassis equipped with picatinny rail from production,
light weight with polymer chassis for weather resistance, or
with ergonomic chassis and thumbhole.

CZ rimfires come with two types of barrels. Check out the barrel comparison here.

CZ rimfire rifles have interchangeable parts and accessories. You can use the same picatinny rail or scope rings for all the CZ 457 rimfires.

Spare parts of CZ 457 rifles are also compatible within various models. And where are CZ rimfires manufactured? The production of CZ 457 remains in Czech republic.

You can also use accesories from older CZ rimfires (CZ 455, CZ Brno) for your CZ 457 but the compatibility is limited. Although the dovetail si the same size, the ejection window is possitioned differently. Thus if you would like to mount a scope to your CZ, you would have to be careful. Why?

The different position of the ejection window means that the picatinny rail from older rimfires will not fit correctly. Although you could mount it to the dovetail, it would interfere with the window. On the other hand, you can use scope rings with mounting directly to the dovetail. That is because the dovetail is the same and by positioning the rings as needed, it will not interfere with the new position of ejection window.

Also older CZ rimfire magazines will work in your CZ 457 and vice versa without issue – that is for magazines in .22 LR caliber. For CZ 457 rifles in .22 WMR / Magnum the compatibility of magazines is slightly different.
