FIRST LOOK: The New CZ M457 Bolt-Action Rifle

By Dr. Martin D. Topper

The new CZ M457 bolt-action rifles are worthy successors to the company’s popular M452 and M455 series rimfires. That’s because the 457s have the quality, versatility, accuracy and straightforward operating systems of the 455s. Additionally, the rifles incorporate refinements that make them more compatible with features of popular American rimfires.

The new features include a cocking indicator on the back of the bolt and a right-side safety that disengages when pushed forward. The 457’s bolt can also be cycled when the safety is engaged, and it has a lighter action that is about one-inch shorter than the 455 action. That’s because the new action has sculpted bottom metal that includes a streamlined trigger guard. In addition, the 457s retain highly desirable features from the 455 series.

Like the 455s, quick-change interchangeable barrels are offered in .22 LR, .22 WMR and .17 HMR. Meanwhile, all 457s use M455 magazines.
