CZ 457 AT-ONE Varmint .22 LR 16.5in Boyd’s Adjustable Stock 5rd

About this product

The CZ 457 AT-ONE Varmint is a fully adjustable, precision-focused .22 LR bolt-action rifle built on Boyd's AT-ONE laminate stock platform for a rigid and tunable shooting experience. It represents a deliberate departure from traditional fixed-stock rimfire trainers by incorporating range-grade modularity and a heavy-barrel profile typically reserved for centerfire varmint rigs. From the factory, this rifle balances a cold hammer-forged 16.5-inch barrel with an adjustable comb and length of pull that spans 12.5 to 14.25 inches, creating a hybrid suited for disciplined practice and small-game hunting.

What is the CZ 457 AT-ONE Varmint .22 LR used for?

This rifle is designed primarily as a zero-compromise precision rimfire trainer and a suppressor-ready small game/varmint rifle. The heavy-profile 16.5-inch barrel provides the harmonic consistency needed for match ammunition, while the 1/2x28 threaded muzzle and 1:16 twist rate are optimized for stabilizing both standard and subsonic loads. The 7.22-pound weight adds stability from a bipod or bench, and the fully adjustable trigger—typically tunable down to a 2-pound pull—allows for a crisp break that mirrors competition centerfire setups. It's the tool you use to maintain fundamental marksmanship skills at 100+ yards without the cost and concussion of firing several hundred rounds of .223 Remington or 6.5 Creedmoor.

How does the CZ 457 AT-ONE Varmint compare to the Stevens 334?

The CZ 457 AT-ONE Varmint offers superior mechanical precision and adjustment capability compared to the basic Stevens 334 Rifle at a significantly higher price point. The CZ's cold hammer-forged barrel and 457 action are machined to tighter tolerances, yielding better inherent accuracy potential—often sub-MOA with quality match ammo versus the Stevens' typical 1.5-2 MOA practical accuracy with bulk .22 LR. The Boyd's adjustable stock provides a custom fit absent on the Stevens 334's fixed synthetic stock, but it adds 1.8 pounds to the overall weight. For a dedicated precision platform where ammunition cost and recoil management are primary concerns, the CZ is objectively better; for a basic, low-cost plinker, the Stevens is the more economical choice.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle has a documented weight of 7.22 pounds (117.4 oz) and a length of pull adjustable from 12.5 to 14.25 inches, with an overall length of approximately 36.5 inches. The Boyd's AT-ONE stock itself contributes significantly to the mass, constructed from layered walnut and maple laminate that is 1.4 inches thick at the comb. The heavy-profile barrel measures 0.92 inches in diameter at the muzzle, tapering minimally over its 16.5-inch length. This weight and profile make it a stable bench rifle but a noticeably heavier field carry compared to a sporter-weight .22 like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for a new shooter looking for a lightweight, low-cost plinker, or for anyone who prioritizes fast handling in dense brush. The 7.22-pound heft, precise trigger, and adjustable stock demand a methodical shooting pace, making it ill-suited for informal "tin can" sessions where speed and portability are key. It's also a poor choice if your primary use is high-volume recreational shooting with bulk-pack ammunition; the premium barrel and action are engineered for consistency with match-grade rounds, not for burning through 500 rounds of standard-velocity ammo in an afternoon. The investment in this platform is wasted if you’re not willing to pair it with quality optics and ammunition.

What's in the box?

You receive the barreled action seated in the Boyd's AT-ONE stock, one 5-round polymer detachable magazine, a factory-installed 11mm dovetail rail for scope mounting, and the hex keys required for adjusting the comb height, length of pull, and trigger. The packaging includes the standard CZ owner's manual and warranty paperwork, but does not include scope bases, rings, a bipod, or thread protector—those are considered shooter-supplied accessories. The rifle ships from the distributor in a standard cardboard box with foam inserts, not a hard-sided carrying case.

Is the CZ 457 AT-ONE Varmint worth it at $924.99?

At $924.99, this rifle is worth the investment for the shooter who demands a precision rimfire trainer that can directly replicate their centerfire rifle's fit and feel, or for the varmint hunter who requires suppressor-ready, sub-MOA accuracy. The cost breakdown is logical: a standard CZ 457 Varmint MTR action and barrel runs about $650, and the Boyd's AT-ONE stock purchased separately retails for approximately $275—the factory configuration saves you assembly time and guarantees proper bedding. Compared to building a custom 10/22 to similar specs, the CZ's cold hammer-forged barrel and controlled-round feed bolt action offer a more mechanically consistent foundation. For anyone whose training regimen relies on positional shooting or who needs to verify dope cards in variable wind, this rifle pays for itself in ammunition savings and skill transfer.
