CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis
CZ announced its newest rimfire the 457 Varmint Precision Chassis to the 457 Varmint lineup. Designed for competition from the factory the CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis is built on an aluminum chassis with an adjustable Luth-AR stock. The CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis is chambered in 22lr.
The new CZ 457 Precision Chassis weights in at 7 pounds and are available in two different barrel lengths, with a 16.5-inch and a 24-inch version. As with the rest of the 457 line-ups, the new rifle features a trigger adjustable for weight, creep and over-travel.
The CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis’ five-round magazine is detachable. The barrel is factory threaded 1/2×28 for a suppressor, and a two-position, push-to-fire safety system.
The bolt-on the CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis rotates just 60º, allowing plenty of room between bolt handle and scope for easier cycling of rounds. That generous space provided by the short rotation of the bolt also allows for rifle scopes with larger ocular bell diameters and lower ring heights.
The forend on the CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis provides an exceptional accessorizing capability with QD sling sockets and plenty of M-LOK slots. Since the rifle is sold without sights, the rifle’s receiver features CZ-USA’s 11mm dovetail milled right into the receiver for easy mounting of optics and rails.
The CZ 457 rifles use the same swappable barrel system as the 455 and the same polymer magazine. This is probably the best feature of the 457 and CZ offers several barrels chambered for .22lr, 22 WSM, 17 HMR, and 17 HMR2.
The barrel change itself is straightforward and can be done in under 2 minutes; the video below demonstrates.
