Precision. Refinement. Rimfire Redefined.
The CZ 457 Varmint MTR in .17 HMR is built for serious shooters demanding match-grade accuracy from a factory rimfire. Chambered in .17 HMR and cut with a tight-tolerance MATCH chamber, this heavy-barrel rifle delivers exceptional performance with premium ammo—whether you're on the bench or targeting small game at distance.

Crafted with a beautifully figured Turkish walnut stock, the MTR features a vertical pistol grip with palm swell, wrap-around stippling, and a wide, flat forend—designed for maximum stability and control off bags or bipods. Dual QD sling studs add versatility for field carry or precision support.

Upgrades across the CZ 457 platform include a push-to-fire safety, shortened slab-sided action, and a 60° bolt throw that improves scope clearance. Topped off with a fully adjustable trigger and a modular barrel system, the MTR is one of the most refined and adaptable rimfire rifles CZ has ever built.
