TIMNEY CZ 457 | STRAIGHT-SHOE TARGET TRIGGER | MADE IN USA
One Clean Break. Your Preferred Trigger Feel.
The Timney CZ457-ST is a single-stage replacement trigger designed specifically for the CZ 457. Its straight trigger shoe and adjustable 10 oz–2 lb pull weight give rimfire shooters a different feel at the trigger while retaining Timney’s precision-machined construction.
Some CZ 457 owners like the factory curved blade; others prefer the contact point and finger placement offered by a straight shoe. This Timney gives you the straight option in a complete trigger unit rather than a replacement blade alone. Use it for: CZ 457 target shooting, competition, benchrest and other rimfire applications where a straight, adjustable single-stage trigger suits your preferences.
Timney’s CZ 457 Trigger Design.
Timney machines the trigger components rather than relying on stamped or metal-injection-molded parts. The design incorporates Timney’s SEAL’d sear engagement adjustment lock, with adjustable pull weight and overtravel. Timney specifies a factory pull setting near 1 lb; its published usable range runs from 10 ounces to 2 pounds. Each unit is hand-assembled, tested and calibrated by Timney in the USA.
Straight-Shoe Control. No Need to Replace a Good Rifle.
The factory CZ 457 trigger is already a capable design. The appeal here is a different blade shape and the feel of Timney’s complete replacement assembly. A straight shoe offers a consistent, flat surface for your trigger finger. Whether that is preferable to a curved shoe comes down to the shooter, shooting position and intended use. A trigger change alone is not a guarantee of better groups.
Your Choice: Straight or Curved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fitment, trigger geometry, published adjustments and related CZ 457 choices.
Is this the straight or curved Timney trigger?
This listing is the straight-shoe Timney CZ457-ST. If you prefer a curved blade, we also offer the Timney CZ 457 Curved Trigger as a separate product.
What is the adjustable pull-weight range?
Timney lists an adjustment range of 10 ounces to 2 pounds and a factory setting of approximately 1 pound. Always follow Timney’s product instructions and all applicable safety checks.
Does this trigger have adjustable overtravel?
Yes. Timney specifies adjustable overtravel as well as pull weight. Detailed adjustment and safety information should be taken directly from Timney’s documentation for the trigger.
Does it fit CZ 455 or CZ 452 rifles?
This model is designed for the CZ 457 action. Do not assume fitment with earlier CZ 452 or CZ 455 rifles. Confirm your exact rifle configuration with Timney before ordering.
Will it fit my original stock or a replacement chassis?
The trigger is designed for CZ 457 actions, but stock and trigger-guard clearances can differ. If you use an aftermarket chassis or modified factory stock, confirm the exact combination with Timney and the stock/chassis manufacturer.
Does it include installation instructions?
For trigger installation, adjustment and safety checks, use Timney’s official instructions supplied with or published for the product. Pete’s Pillars does not provide separate installation directions. If you are uncertain, have a qualified gunsmith perform the work.
Will a lighter trigger automatically improve accuracy?
A different trigger feel can help a shooter manage the shot, but it does not guarantee smaller groups or change the underlying barrel and ammunition performance. Select an appropriate, safe pull weight for your intended use and verify any competition-equipment rules.
Trigger fitment and specifications are subject to manufacturer changes. Verify compatibility with Timney for your exact CZ 457 configuration. Follow Timney’s safety procedures and consult a qualified gunsmith when appropriate.
