The CZ 457 Target .22 LR (Model 02324) is a purpose-built precision rimfire rifle designed for competitive target shooting.

Built on CZ’s proven 457 platform, the Target model is engineered for serious shooters who demand the highest level of precision in .22 LR competition.
26-Inch Heavy Threaded Barrel
The CZ 457 Target is equipped with a 26-inch heavy contour barrel that is threaded at the muzzle. The extra-long barrel maximizes velocity and accuracy while providing an extended sight radius when using iron sights. The heavy profile helps reduce barrel whip and improves heat dissipation during long-range sessions. The 1/2x28 threading allows for easy installation of suppressors or muzzle brakes, making the rifle highly adaptable for both indoor ranges and outdoor precision shooting.
The CZ 457 Target combines a 26-inch threaded heavy barrel with a fully adjustable aluminum chassis and target-grade components for ultimate precision in .22 LR.
Fully Adjustable Aluminum Chassis Stock
This model features a premium aluminum chassis stock that offers extensive adjustability. Shooters can fine-tune length of pull, cheek height, and buttpad position to achieve a perfect fit. The integrated palm rest provides additional stability during prone shooting, while the rigid aluminum construction eliminates flex found in traditional wood or polymer stocks. This chassis system allows the rifle to be customized for different shooters and shooting positions, making it ideal for both junior and adult competitors.
Target Trigger and Diopter Sight Kit
The CZ 457 Target comes with a precision target trigger that delivers a clean, crisp break with minimal creep. The trigger is fully adjustable for weight and travel, allowing shooters to tune it to their exact preference. Additionally, the rifle includes a complete diopter target sight kit, consisting of a fully adjustable rear aperture sight and a compatible front sight. These high-quality iron sights are designed for maximum precision and are commonly used in smallbore target competitions.
Single-Shot Precision Design
The CZ 457 Target is configured as a true single-shot rifle. This design eliminates magazine-related variables and allows for the most consistent feeding and chambering possible. Single-shot rifles are favored in many precision rimfire disciplines because they encourage deliberate shot placement and help shooters focus on fundamentals. The action is smooth and reliable, with a robust bolt that locks up tightly for excellent accuracy.
