The CZ 457 American in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (brand part no. 02314) pairs a hard-hitting rimfire cartridge with the smooth, reliable action CZ-USA is known for. A durable nitride finish protects the 20.5-inch threaded barrel from rust and wear, and a 60-degree bolt rotation makes cycling quick without bumping a mounted scope’s low ring clearance. The rifle’s integrated 11mm dovetail keeps optics mounting simple, and a 5-round detachable magazine keeps the action fed for range sessions or small-game hunting. .22 WMR hits harder than standard .22 Long Rifle while remaining an affordable, low-recoil round for varmints and predators at moderate range.
