CZ 457 Manners MTR
The new lineup begins with the CZ 457 Manners MTR. Carbon fiber and fiberglass layers craft the Manners MTR for exceptional stability.

CZ 457 Stainless Synthetic
The CZ 457 Stainless Synthetic arrives with a durable synthetic stock that draws inspiration from the reliable 557 American Synthetic model. The Stainless Synthetic was designed for range enthusiasts and small game hunters alike with a robust construction and nitride finish. The sporter profile stainless 20-inch barrel is cold hammer forged and threaded (1/2×28) for suppressor use. Meanwhile, tight chamber tolerances and advanced design elements enhance the rifle’s reliability and performance.
CZ 600 American
CZ also announced the newest addition to their 600 rifle series with the American. The CZ 600 American honors America’s hunting heritage with refined lines and traditional features in a hardwood stock and blued metal finish. The rifle’s style is reminiscent of yesteryear’s classic hunting rifles. The 600 American is available in seven popular hunting cartridges: .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, .270 Winchester, .308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum.
The newest addition to the line promises the same unparalleled accuracy, achieved through a cold hammer-forged medium contour suppressor-ready barrel. The CZ 600 American is standard with a 24-inch barrel for enhanced ballistic performance while more compact 20-inch barrels are available in .308 Win or .243 Win. The rifle’s MOA accuracy guarantee furthers its appeal while ensuring ethical precision for hunters.
While it pays homage to classic hunting rifles, the 600 American also elevates ergonomics with a 60-degree bolt throw for improved clearance between the bolt and optic and faster cycling. The patented 2-position tang safety is virtually silent to not alert game animals.
The CZ 600 American’s detachable magazine allows for quick reloads, but can be topped off through the ejection port. The rifle’s single stage trigger has four adjustable weight settings while the receiver is tapped for scope mounts patterned for the prolific Remington 700 action.
CZ’s Transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty covers all new CZ 457 Rimfire Rifles and the CZ 600 American. Pricing and availability are TBD.
