The 457 action uses a 60-degree bolt throw for ample scope clearance and quick cycling. A fully adjustable trigger allows the user to fine-tune pull to preference, while the two-position, push-forward-to-fire safety provides straightforward operation.
The walnut stock is varnished and built for support, with a straight comb, a wide/flat forend, and machine checkering at the grip and forend. A rubber buttplate and sling swivel studs are fitted from the factory. Length of pull is 14.0 inches.
Markings include the C.I.P. Czech proof mark with a "20" date code and "MADE IN CZECH REPUBLIC." The rifle was imported by CZ-USA. Capacity is 5+1 rounds using the included factory polymer detachable box magazine, and the receiver, barrel, and bolt share matching serial numbers.
