Description
Picture this: you’re at the range, and the crack of a .22LR is the only sound. Then you hear a gentle thwip from the next lane. That shooter isn’t just enjoying near-silent plinking; they’re doing it with a rifle that didn’t break the bank. That’s the quiet value proposition of a suppressor-ready .22. But finding one that’s accurate, reliable, and truly ready without extra gunsmithing costs? That’s the trick.
The CZ 455 AMERICAN SUPPRESSOR READY 22LR 16 Barrel Polymer Stock 5 Rd is a purpose-built, budget-friendly bolt-action rifle designed from the factory for use with a sound suppressor. It features a 16-inch threaded barrel, a lightweight synthetic stock, and CZ’s renowned accuracy, offering a high-value platform for quiet small-game hunting, pest control, and low-cost training. This model ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Let’s talk about that suppressor-ready feature, because it’s where the real value lies. Many rifles require you to pay a gunsmith to thread the barrel, adding $100 or more to your total cost. The CZ 455 comes with a 1/2″-28 threaded muzzle right out of the box. That means you can mount popular rimfire suppressors from brands like SilencerCo’s Sparrow or Dead Air’s Mask immediately after your tax stamp clears—no waiting, no extra machining fees. It’s a simple, drop-in ready solution that protects your wallet upfront.
The heart of any CZ is its barrel and action, and the 455 doesn’t cut corners. The cold hammer-forged barrel is known for exceptional consistency, which translates directly to tight groups. Paired with the crisp, adjustable single-stage trigger, you have a platform that outperforms its price tag. The synthetic stock isn’t fancy walnut, but here’s the thing—it’s durable, weather-resistant, and keeps the overall weight down to a handy 5.6 pounds. For a rifle you might carry through damp fields or lean against a tree, that practical trade-off makes sense.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Caliber | .22 Long Rifle |
| Barrel Length | 16 inches |
| Muzzle Thread | 1/2″-28 |
| Magazine Capacity | 5 Rounds |
| Stock Material | Polymer |
| Overall Weight | Approx. 5.6 lbs |
So, what are the trade-offs? The polymer stock is functional but lacks the premium feel of the wood-stocked CZ American models. The 5-round magazine is sufficient for most purposes, but high-volume plinkers might want to pick up an extra 10-round mag. That said, at $372.51, you’re getting CZ’s legendary barrel and action in a no-frills, feature-focused package. Compared to threading a cheaper rifle after purchase, this represents serious bang-for-your-buck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What thread pitch is on the barrel for the suppressor?
A: The barrel is threaded with the standard 1/2″-28 UNEF pattern, which is the most common thread for .22 caliber suppressors in the United States. It is directly compatible with most rimfire cans without any adapters.
Q: Can I use CZ 452 or 457 magazines in this 455 model?
A: No, the CZ 455 uses its own specific magazine pattern. Magazines for the 452 or the newer 457 model will not fit. Ensure you purchase magazines specifically labeled for the CZ 455.
Q: Is the rifle suitable for a beginner?
A: Absolutely. The mild recoil of .22LR, the easy-to-operate bolt action, and the light weight make it an excellent first rifle. The suppressor-ready feature also makes it ideal for introducing new shooters without the intimidation of loud muzzle report.
This rifle is for the practical shooter who values function over flash. It’s for the Missouri squirrel hunter who wants to take a quiet shot without disturbing the woods, the landowner managing pests without alarming neighbors, and the budget-conscious marksman who wants a supremely accurate .22 for practice without the premium for fancy furniture. It’s a tool, and a very good one at that.
