The CZ 457 Royal  is a remarkable addition to the CZ 457 family, which represents a significant leap in the evolution of rimfire rifles. CZ, a company with over 70 years of experience in manufacturing long guns that use rimfire cartridges, has consistently produced top-quality firearms. However, the CZ 457 series stands out as a true game-changer in terms of improvements in key user parameters.

The CZ 457 series embodies a commitment to innovation and excellence in design. The key features and benefits of this series are as follows:

1. Positive Safety: The CZ 457 is equipped with a silent, positive safety mechanism that enhances safe and intuitive control in the direction of the shot. This feature contributes to safe and comfortable firearm handling.
2. Separate Bolt Removal Control: The bolt can be easily and safely extracted from the receiver without having to pull the trigger. This separate and easily accessible control allows for convenient disassembly of the firearm for cleaning.
3. Safety-Engaged Bolt Handling: The CZ 457 enables the bolt to be opened even with the safety engaged, facilitating safe firearm checks and unloading without the need to release the safety.
4. Firing Mechanism Indicator: An indicator is incorporated into the design to reliably detect a cocked firing mechanism. It can be checked both visually and by touch, making it useful in low-light or nighttime conditions.
5. Adjustable Trigger Mechanism: The CZ 457 comes with an adjustable trigger mechanism that can be tailored to individual preferences. The factory preset trigger pull weight is 12 N, but it can be easily adjusted in the range of 8–15 N. The trigger travel is also customizable within the range of 0.5–5 mm.
6. Lighter Striker with Reduced Vibrations: The CZ 457 features a significantly lighter striker with faster movement and smaller shocks during firing. This reduction in striker weight by 62% minimizes any vibration that could impact shooting accuracy. The striker is designed to be resistant to dry training, enhancing its durability.
7. New Type of Bedding: The CZ 457 employs a new type of bedding designed to maintain consistent tightness of the system with screws in the stock. This contributes to long-term accuracy and stability of the firearm, reducing the effect of wood expansion under varying temperature conditions.
8. Bolt Handle with 60° Rotation: The CZ 457’s bolt handle has a shortened rotation movement of 60°, allowing for quick and smooth reloading, especially when combined with optical sights.
9. Ergonomic Stocks: The CZ 457 series offers a variety of stock options, shapes, and materials with a focus on ergonomics, comfort, and convenience for the shooter. You can choose the stock that best fits your hand and preferences.
10. Barrel Replacement and Calibre Change: The CZ 457’s modular system allows easy barrel replacement, including the use of barrels from the previous CZ 455 series. This flexibility allows you to customize the firearm according to your specific needs.
11. Cold-Forged Barrel: The CZ 457 comes with a cold-forged barrel, ensuring durability and precision.
12. Match Chamber on Selected Models: Some models, such as the CZ 457 MTR in .22 LR and 17HMR, feature a Match cartridge chamber that meets CIP tolerance standards. This precise production and low tolerances guarantee exceptional accuracy of 1 MOA, depending on the ammunition used.

In conclusion, the CZ 457 Royal 22LR is a prime example of the innovation and craftsmanship that CZ brings to its rimfire rifles. With a strong emphasis on user safety, comfort, and accuracy, it’s a modern rimfire rifle that sets new standards in the industry. Whether you’re an experienced shooter or new to the sport, the CZ 457 series offers a wide range of features to enhance your shooting experience. Its modular design and excellent build quality ensure that it can be customized to suit individual preferences and requirements.
