CZ-USA
The CZ 455 is the next generation of the CZ bolt-action rimfire and will eventually replace the 452 line by consolidating all rimfire bolt-action receivers into one common platform. The CZ 455 allows the use of interchangeable barrels, calibers, and stock configurations. The common features of the 455 line include a rimfire boltaction fully machined from bar stock, a trigger adjustable for weight of pull (with a single-set trigger available on some models), a cold-hammer-forged barrel, a detachable magazine, standard 11mm rimfire scope-mounting dovetails milled into the receiver, interchangeable barrels, and interchangeable stocks. Five new CZ 455 model variations enter the CZ rimfire line this year. The CZ 455 American Synthetic (SRP: $374) is chambered for .22LR. It features a black American-style synthetic stock and blued metalwork, a 20.5-inch barrel without supplied sights, an adjustable trigger, and a five-round detachable magazine. It has an empty weight of 5.81 pounds. The CZ 455 Varmint SST is equipped with a single-set trigger system. The trigger is adjustable in both the primary and single-set pull weights. It features a 20.5-inch heavy barrel (without supplied sights), a walnut stock and blued metalwork, and a five-round detachable magazine. It will be available in .22LR (SRP: $509) and .17 HMR (SRP: $536). The CZ 455 Tacticool (SRP: $522) is designed as a rimfire training rifle but provides features that also make it a good choice for precision .22LR chores. It offers a black-painted laminate stock with ambidextrous palm swells, an especially high Monte Carlo cheekpiece to accommodate larger scopes, and a beavertail forend to accommodate bag rests or a bipod, with a gentle buttstock hook to provide greater control with bag or bipod. The metalwork is blued. It features a five-round detachable magazine, a 20.5-inch heavy barrel (without iron sights), and the standard CZ 455 adjustable trigger. The CZ 455 Varmint Thumbhole SST Fluted incorporates a vented Boyd’s thumbhole stock in a forestfinished laminate construction, with blued metalwork. The 20.5-inch heavy
fluted barrel comes without sights. The trigger mechanism is CZ’s Single Set Trigger (SST). A five-round detachable magazine is standard, and it will be available in .22LR (SRP: $588) and .17 HMR (SRP: $615). Lastly, in the rimfire line, the CZ 455 Single Set Trigger assembly will now be available as an accessory item (SRP: $60), and CZ states that it will fit all existing 455 actions with a serial number of A956497 or higher. In the centerfire arena, the CZ 527 will now be available in the .17 Hornet. Based upon the .22 Hornet cartridge case, the .17 Hornet will launch a 20-grain Superformance Hornady V-MAX bullet to 3,650 fps while delivering trajectory performance similar to a 55-grain .223 Rem. load, but with less recoil and a lower price. The CZ 527 bolt-action offers a true micro-length Mauser-style action with controlled feed. A hammer-forged barrel, a single-set SST trigger, and a recessed target crown complete the package. Integral 16mm scope dovetail mounts are set into the forged, square bridge receiv-
