CZ 457 Royal .22 LR 16.5in Threaded Walnut 5rd

The CZ 457 Royal .22 LR 16.5in Threaded Walnut 5rd is a full-size rimfire bolt-action that bridges precision rimfire competition and small-game hunting. It mates a Turkish walnut stock with a 60° bolt throw and adjustable trigger, giving you a repeatable platform for sub-MOA groups at 50 to 100 yards. The 16.5-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×20, ready for a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith. This is the CZ 457 Royal .22 LR 16.5in Threaded Walnut 5rd—built for shooters who measure success in clicks and wind holds.

Key Features

• Turkish Walnut Stock with American Comb — WHY IT MATTERS: The high, flat comb aligns your eye with a scope’s centerline, eliminating cheek-weld guesswork during positional shooting. The lengthened forend provides a stable hand stop point for barricade work.
• 60° Bolt Throw — WHY IT MATTERS: Shorter lift clears low-mounted scopes and allows faster cycling without breaking your cheek weld. Critical for follow-up shots on steel or game.
• Adjustable Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: You can dial out creep and set over-travel to your preference, giving a clean 2–3 lb break. According to CZ-USA specs, the trigger is user-adjustable without removing the action from the stock.
• Threaded 16.5-Inch Barrel (1/2×20) — WHY IT MATTERS: Direct mount for rimfire suppressors or linear compensators. The shorter barrel keeps the rifle handy in timber while maintaining velocity for 100-yard accuracy.
• 5-Round Detachable Magazine — WHY IT MATTERS: Reloads are fast, and the magazine is flush-fitting for prone or bag shooting. No snagging on barricades.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the long-range shooter who practices wind reading at 100 yards with .22 LR before moving to centerfire. It’s also for the hunter who wants a quiet, accurate rimfire for squirrels and rabbits, especially with a suppressor threaded on. If you own a CZ 457 Royal .22 LR 16.5in Threaded Walnut 5rd, you’re serious about rimfire precision without the custom price tag.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box with match ammo. The barrel is cold-hammer-forged, a process that yields consistent rifling and tighter tolerances.
• Pro: Stock geometry works with both low and medium rings—no need for a cheek riser unless you run a 56mm objective.
• Pro: Threaded muzzle is standard 1/2×20, the most common rimfire thread pitch, so you can run any brand suppressor.
• Con: The trigger is adjustable but lacks a true two-stage feel. Some shooters swap in a Timney CZ 457 trigger for a crisp single-stage at 1.5 lb. That’s an honest drawback if you’re used to aftermarket triggers.

Comparison

The CZ 457 Royal slots above the Ruger and Savage in stock quality and fit/finish. If you want a ready-to-compete rifle without stock upgrades, the CZ wins. The Savage B22 FV-SR is a better budget option if you don’t mind synthetic stocks.
