CZ 457 VS Ruger American Rimfire

The CZ 457 series thus offers exceptional user comfort due to its easy, fast and reliable operation, even with a riflescope attached. To ensure maximum safety, there is a positive safety on the right side of the receiver, a striker status indicator and a separate bolt extractor control. Shooting accuracy has also considerably improved with the use of a new adjustable trigger mechanism that features low trigger pull weight and excellent travel, combined with a noticeably lighter striker and a new type of bedding. A revolutionary innovation is the extremely durable anti-corrosion finish on metal parts that currently has no equal on the market. The CZ 457 series has retained all the important benefits of the previous CZ rimfire rifle generation: a modular system that allows for the easy replacement of barrels and change of calibers, as well as extremely reliable polymer magazines.

The American series from Ruger consists of bolt-action rifles chambered from 22LR rimfire up to large centerfire rifles such as the 30-06 SPG, and were designed to be an innovative yet affordable rifle platform with models suitable for all North American game. This particular example, chambered in 22LR, features interchangeable stock modules that provide comb height options for both scope or iron sight use. The lightweight black composite stock has sling swivel studs and a 13.75" length of pull. The Marksman adjustable trigger offers a user adjustable pull weight, between 3 and 5 pounds. The free-floated hammer-forged barrel has a target-crown, ultra-precise rifling to provide exceptional accuracy, longevity and easy cleaning, and a satin blued finish. It also features a 10/22-style extended magazine release, a fiber optic front sight, an adjustable V slot folding rear sight, and a 3/8" rimfire scope base machined into the receiver, which is also drilled and tapped for Weaver #12 bases.
