A modern classic in the European style the 457 Premium has all sorts of flair! Its Turkish Walnut stock has a decorative forend tip with schnabel while its hog-back stock has a mild Monte Carlo and a cheekpiece. It’s 24.8” barrel wears irons with a tangent rear sight and a fiber optic front sight while the muzzle is threaded 1/2×20 (a European standard). – If we were to pick one thing that our previous rimfire platforms were lacking it was an American-style push-to-fire safety — something Hunter’s Education instructors and 4-H shooting coaches have begged us to incorporate for years. Though that was the most obvious change we also took the opportunity to tweak a load of small things at the same time. In addition to the receiver-mounted push-to-fire safety we chopped almost an inch of length from the action and slab-sided it to reduce its footprint and weight. – The stamped bottom metal of the 455 is gone swapped for a classy two-piece interlocking system. To make scope fitment easier we ditched the 90° bolt rotation in favor of 60° allowing for larger ocular bell diameters with lower ring heights. To top it all off the 457 now features a trigger adjustable for weight creep and over-travel. – With the exact same swappable barrel system as the 455 and the same reliable polymer magazine system the 457 is without a doubt the best rimfire platform we’ve ever fielded. – Chambering: .22 LR – Rate Of Twist: 1:16 in – Magazine Capacity: 5 – Magazine Type: Detachable – Stock: European-Style Turkish Walnut with Decorative Tip – Sights: Adjustable Tangent Integral 11mm Dovetail – Barrel: Cold Hammer Forged – Barrel Length: 24.8 in – Overall Length: 38.2 in – Weight: 6.39 lbs – Trigger Mech: Adjustable – Safety: Two-Position Push-To-Fire
