CZ 457 22LR SYNTHETIC “20

CZ 457 22LR Synthetic “20 The CZ 457 Synthetic 20″ .22 LR is a bolt-action rimfire rifle designed for hunting, plinking, small-game shooting, and general target work. It’s part of the CZ 457 family, a modern rimfire platform that improves on the earlier CZ 455 design with better ergonomics, smoother action, and enhanced accuracy potential. Key Features Action Bolt-action design with a user-friendly and crisp cycle — common for precision and reliability in rimfire rifles. Rotary bolt engages solidly with the receiver for consistent performance. Caliber Chambered in .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR) with a 1:16″ twist rate, optimized for stabilizing typical .22 LR projectiles. Barrel 20-inch (≈525 mm) cold-hammer forged barrel. This manufacturing method promotes strength, durability, and consistent rifling for better accuracy. Typically threaded 1/2″x20 UNF at the muzzle to allow installation of muzzle devices (like suppressors where legal) or caps. The barrel profile on the synthetic model is a light profile — balancing weight and accuracy for general use. Stock High-strength polymer stock with a soft-touch finish. Weather-resistant and rugged, offering durability in diverse environments (cold, moisture, etc.). Ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip and carrying balance. Does not include a cheekpiece or advanced adjustability in the basic synthetic version. Magazine & Feeding Uses a detachable box magazine with a 5-round capacity — standard for most rimfire bolt rifles. Designed for reliable feeding of .22 LR cartridges. Trigger & Safety Adjustable trigger lets you tune the feel and pull weight to preference. Two-position safety located behind the bolt handle for intuitive operation — blocking the trigger when engaged. Mounting & Sights No open iron sights fitted on most synthetic models; the receiver typically includes an 11 mm dovetail rail for mounting optics (scope rings included separately). Many shooters pair this rifle with small-caliber scopes for precision at moderate ranges. Dimensions & Weight Overall length: ~977 mm (≈38.5″). Weight: ~2.5 kg (≈5.5 lb), making it light and easy to carry for varmint hunting or range use. The longer barrel helps improve velocity and sight radius without adding excessive weight. Performance & Use Cases Accuracy: The 457 series is known for good accuracy out of the box among rimfire rifles, making it suitable for target shooting, small-game hunting, and skill development. Versatility: Ideal for plinking, teaching new shooters, or precision fun at the range — with light recoil and inexpensive ammunition. Customization: Aftermarket parts like upgraded triggers, stocks, or optics mounts are available and widely used by enthusiasts to refine performance and ergonomics.
