CZ 457 American Synthetic .22 WMR Suppressor-Ready, 5rd

The CZ 457 American Synthetic .22 WMR Suppressor-Ready, 5rd is a factory-threaded rimfire bolt gun built for shooters who want magnum velocity without the muzzle blast. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, this rifle pairs a nitride-treated barrel with a black synthetic American-style stock for all-weather durability. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with an 11mm dovetail for direct optic mounting, and the 5-round detachable magazine feeds reliably from the factory. For precision rimfire work—whether hunting small game or ringing steel at 150 yards—this CZ delivers repeatable accuracy straight out of the box.

Key Features

• Factory-Threaded Barrel (1/2×28): Why it matters — lets you mount a suppressor or muzzle brake without sending the barrel to a gunsmith, saving time and threading costs.
• 60-Degree Bolt Throw: Why it matters — keeps your hand close to the trigger for faster follow-up shots while maintaining cheek weld and scope clearance.
• Adjustable Trigger (2–3 lbs): Why it matters — dial in pull weight to match your shooting style, from a crisp 2-lb match break to a heavier field setting for safety with gloves.
• 11mm Dovetail Receiver: Why it matters — mounts rings directly without a rail for a lower scope height, improving cheek-to-stock alignment and reducing cantilever stress.
• Two-Position Safety: Why it matters — locks the trigger while allowing the bolt to cycle for safe unloading, a feature rimfire shooters appreciate during range cold-line checks.

Who It’s For

This rifle suits the precision rimfire shooter who wants .22 WMR ballistics—flatter trajectory and higher energy than .22 LR—in a suppressor-host platform. It’s for the guy who runs drills on 100-yard steel, hunts fox or coyote at dawn, or teaches new shooters on a quiet, low-recoil gun. If you already own a CZ 457 in .22 LR, this gives you magnum capability with the same stock and trigger feel.

Pros/Cons

Pros: Factory-threaded barrel saves $80+ in gunsmith fees; nitride finish resists rust in humid conditions; adjustable trigger breaks clean with no creep out of the box; 60-degree bolt is fast for a rimfire.

Cons: The synthetic stock feels hollow compared to wood or chassis options—some shooters replace it with a KRG Bravo for improved rigidity. Also, .22 WMR ammunition costs roughly 2x .22 LR, so budget accordingly for high-volume practice.

Comparison

The CZ 457 American Synthetic splits the difference: you get a smoother bolt and better trigger than the Ruger 10/22 Magnum, but at a higher price point than the Savage B22 FV-SR. If you value trigger adjustability and bolt feel, the CZ wins. If budget is tight, the Savage is a solid alternative.
