The CZ-USA 457 Varmint MTR is a bolt-action rimfire rifle chambered in .22 LR (brand part no. 02345), built on CZ’s 457 action known for a smooth, short bolt throw and a receiver that accepts a wide range of aftermarket parts. The 20.5-inch barrel wears a black nitride finish that resists corrosion and wear from heavy range use, and the MTR designation marks this variant as a match-target configuration built for serious precision rimfire shooting. A two-position safety keeps the manual of arms simple, and the detachable 5-round magazine allows quick reloads between strings. For rimfire shooters who want genuine match-grade accuracy for competition or practice without stepping up to a centerfire precision rifle, the 457 Varmint MTR delivers.
