The CZ 457 American is a right-hand bolt-action .22 LR rifle with a 20.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel that is threaded 1/2x28 at the muzzle. The black synthetic stock is weather resistant, and the nitride finish covers the metalwork. The billet receiver has an 11mm dovetail for scope rings or an optic rail. It weighs 6.6 pounds, measures 38.25 inches overall and holds five rounds from one included magazine. The trigger is fully adjustable, and a two-position push-to-fire safety sits on the bolt.

In Kansas this rifle suits range practice and target shooting. The state's deer seasons name centerfire rifles, shotguns with slugs, centerfire handguns and muzzleloaders, so check KDWP's summary before hunting with a .22 LR. Dealer sales need a photo ID, ATF Form 4473 and the federal NICS check.
