Classic European Elegance Meets Modern Rimfire Precision

If you appreciate the timeless aesthetic of a traditional timber hunting rifle but demand the cutting-edge accuracy of a modern action, the CZ 457 Royal is in a class of its own. Representing a return to the roots of premium rimfire rifles, the Royal model blends classic Commonwealth styling with CZ's highly advanced 457 modular platform. Whether you are teaching the next generation the fundamentals of marksmanship, engaging in target shooting, or managing rabbits on the farm, this CZ 457 rifle is built to be a reliable heirloom piece for discerning shooters in New Zealand.

The foundation of this CZ 457 Royal rifle is a beautifully crafted, premium Turkish walnut stock. Finished with a hand-rubbed oil treatment that brings out the rich natural grain, the stock features a straight comb, a rounded cheekpiece, a slim forend, and elegant safari-style flush sling swivels. Housed within this timber is the drastically upgraded 457 action. CZ has reduced the bolt rotation to a smooth 60 degrees, allowing for ultra-fast cycling and generous clearance for mounting large optics close to the bore. It also features a vastly improved, fully adjustable trigger mechanism (adjustable for both pull weight and travel) and a modern push-to-fire safety system, enhancing user safety and shooting comfort for all CZ rifles.

The CZ 457 Royal is equipped with a highly accurate cold hammer-forged barrel, typically available in either a 16" or 20" profile. The muzzle comes factory-threaded at 1/2x20 UNF, ready to accept your preferred rimfire suppressor for quiet pest control. Finished with an incredibly durable, deep-penetrating anti-corrosion surface treatment, the CZ 457 Royal delivers rugged backcountry reliability disguised as a gentleman's target rifle, making it an excellent choice for any shooter looking for a high-performance CZ 457 in NZ.

• Premium Turkish Walnut: The beautifully oiled timber stock features classic styling, a rounded cheekpiece, and flush safari-style QD sling points, characteristic of the CZ 457 Royal.

• 60-Degree Bolt Throw: The redesigned bolt handle rotates only 60 degrees, providing significantly faster reloads and allowing for lower, more comfortable scope mounting, ideal for a CZ 457 action.

• Adjustable Match Trigger: The trigger mechanism allows you to perfectly fine-tune both the pull weight (8 to 15 N) and travel distance (0.5 to 7 mm) to break exactly how you want it, enhancing accuracy for target shooting.

• Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel: Built for tack-driving accuracy and factory threaded (1/2x20 UNF) to easily accept standard European rimfire suppressors, perfect for a threaded .22 LR rifle. Explore the versatility of CZ 457 barrels.

• Advanced Safety Features: Includes an intuitive push-to-fire safety lever, a separate bolt-removal control, and a highly visible red striker status indicator at the rear of the bolt.

• Modular Design: Retains full compatibility with older CZ 455 magazines, and the modular system allows you to easily swap barrels to change calibres in the future, offering versatility for your CZ 457.
