The CZ 457 Synthetic is a .22 LR bolt-action rifle built on CZ's updated 457 platform. The cold hammer-forged barrel is finished in black nitride, and the fully adjustable trigger lets shooters set pull weight to their preference. The 11mm dovetail rail is integral to the receiver, and the rifle ships without sights, so optics are the intended mounting method.

The CZ 457 Synthetic .22 LR gets consistently strong feedback, with accuracy being the most frequently cited strength. Owners report tight groups at typical small game and target distances, and the 20.5-inch barrel is noted as a contributor to that precision.

Build quality and craftsmanship draw regular positive comments. The black synthetic stock is described as lightweight and weather-resistant.
