When it comes to dispatching pests at 75-100 yards or taking small game like fox or raccoon, the .22 WMR cartridge steps up where the .22 LR falls short. The CZ 455’s 20.6-inch barrel optimizes the round’s velocity, giving you a flatter trajectory and more consistent energy downrange. The single-set trigger is a standout—engage the set function for a hair-touch break perfect for a precise shot on a squirrel’s head, or use it conventionally for a still-excellent 3.5-5 lb pull. At a price of $402.97, this rifle delivers European-grade machining and accuracy without a custom shop price tag. The walnut stock is finished for a secure grip in all conditions, and the blued metalwork resists the elements you’ll encounter in the field. It’s a system, too—compatible with CZ 455 barrels in .22 LR and .17 HMR, letting you own multiple rifles in one. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is for the hunter who respects tradition but demands performance. It’s for the landowner who needs a quiet, effective tool for predator and pest control without the report of a centerfire. It’s for the shooter who appreciates the mechanical satisfaction of a smooth bolt action and the tangible quality of real wood and steel. If your needs extend beyond the 50-yard effective range of a .22 LR, but you don’t require (or want) the cost and noise of a larger centerfire, the .22 WMR in this platform is your answer. The 6.0 lb weight makes it easy to carry all day, and the overall balance is spot-on for offhand shooting.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Unmatched accuracy for a production rimfire rifle. The modular barrel system offers incredible long-term value and versatility. The single-set trigger is a premium feature rarely found in this price class. The fit and finish are superior, with real walnut and deep, even bluing. It’s a rifle built to last generations.
Cons: .22 WMR ammunition is more expensive than .22 LR. The 5-round magazine capacity is standard but less than some tube-fed alternatives. The classic stock design may not accommodate all modern optics mounts without a cheek riser. That said, the pros heavily outweigh the cons for a dedicated user.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I shoot .22 Long Rifle ammunition in this .22 WMR rifle?
A: No. You must only use .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR) ammunition in this specific model. However, the CZ 455 platform allows you to purchase a separate .22 LR barrel and bolt face assembly to convert the rifle, which is a straightforward process.
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
A: The standard model described here is not threaded. CZ does offer threaded barrel variants (like the 455 American Suppressor Ready), but this specific Walnut Blued model typically comes with a crowned, non-threaded muzzle. Always verify the exact model designation before purchasing.
Q: What scope mounts work with the CZ 455?
A: The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard rimfire scope bases. Popular one-piece or two-piece bases from brands like Warne, EGW, and DIP Inc. are designed to fit the 11mm dovetail or #6-48 screw pattern on the CZ 455, making mounting optics simple and secure.
