This head-to-head accuracy test pitted the CZ 457 Classic against the Ruger American Rimfire Standard in .22 WMR. At 50 yards, the CZ 457 achieved slightly tighter groups, with its best group measuring 0.5 inches, while the Ruger averaged 0.6-0.7 inches. At 100 yards, both rifles showed comparable accuracy under variable wind conditions, with groups ranging from 1.1 to 2.2 inches. The CZ 457 demonstrated a slight edge in accuracy, but the Ruger American offers a lower price point and a flush-fitting rotary magazine.
This review of the CZ 457 Classic in .22 Magnum by Ozzie Reviews highlights its accuracy potential and traditional design. The rifle features a 20-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, an adjustable trigger, and an 11mm dovetail for optics. Accuracy testing at 50 yards showed promising results, with some groups under half an inch, while 100-yard testing yielded groups around 1.5-1.7 inches. The reviewer notes its competitive pricing in Australia and suggests it's a solid choice for rimfire enthusiasts seeking a classic feel.
