The 20.9-inch heavy-profile steel barrel defines the Varmint configuration, delivering stable handling for rimfire precision work. The blued steel receiver and barrel present a clean, classic finish appropriate to the model and caliber.
The single-set, adjustable trigger is a standout feature of the 453 series. It allows the shooter to use a conventional pull or set the trigger for a lighter release, supporting fine control when taking precise shots.
The turn-bolt action uses dual extractor claws with a fixed ejector and includes a cocking indicator at the bolt tail. Feeding is from a detachable steel box magazine with a 5+1 stated capacity.
The laminated wood thumbhole stock offers a firm, consistent grip with a ventilated fore-end. It is outfitted with sling swivel studs, a rubber buttpad, a metal buttplate, and a 14-inch length of pull. The receiver features an integral 11 mm dovetail for optics; the rifle has no iron sights and includes installed 1-inch rings.
Markings include CZ-USA, Kansas City, KS; Made in Czech Republic; and the CZ-UB logo, aligning with the rifle’s Czech origin and import history.
