The new CZ 457 family is the successor to the proven CZ 455 series and features a well-thought-out, modular design that combines classic style with modern manufacturing. Compared to existing models and other manufacturers, the 457 series is a step ahead of the competition in terms of improved safety, accuracy, and durability.

The new CZ 457 models have the following advantages:

• Cylinder lock with 30° reduced opening angle of 60° (compared to the CZ 455)
• Signal pin on the bolt as a cocking indicator – slide safety
• new firing pin, 62% lighter
• bedded system for increased precision
• adjustable trigger – 800 g to 1500 g
• exceptionally durable corrosion protection coating on steel parts for long service life
• system sleeve with 11 mm dovetail rail
• hammer-forged barrel (compatible with CZ 455)
• improved ergonomics
• insert magazine for 5 or 10 rounds (compatible with CZ 455)

Model Thumbhole

The 457 Thumbhole model is equipped with a laminated thumbhole stock. The ergonomic stock is suitable for both right- and left-handed shooters. It fits wonderfully stable and secure in the shoulder. The weapon is newly designed in the current PRS (Precision Rifle Series) style. The trigger shoe cradles the trigger finger, increasing control and precision. The heavy match barrel with muzzle brake is cold-hammer forged and free-floating for maximum precision. The CZ 457 Thumbhole is a visual highlight for "hole-in-one precision".
