[SHOT 2026] Spectre Builds Their First Bolt-Action Chassis For CZ 457
Spectre Ballistics International is down in the basement of SHOT Show with a very cool chassis—their first-ever in the rimfire world, built for the CZ 457 rimfire rifle.

Built to win
One of the fastest-growing shooting sports these days is rimfire precision shooting, and that’s where Spectre Ballistics International (aka SBI) usually plays. But usually, they’re building parts for the Ruger 10/22, or selling their own 10/22-pattern rifles, built on their own receivers with parts streamlined and upgraded for competition.
The precision rimfire world isn’t all 10/22 stuff, though; some guys want to run bolt rifles, and that’s where Spectre’s new chassis for the CZ 457 makes sense.
Thanks to their long association with the precision rimfire scene, Spectre didn’t have to guess at what features shooters might want; they practically cut-and-pasted the design from their 10/22 chassis and re-worked the CNC’d aluminum for the CZ 457. It has M-LOK slots cut all over for accessories, and an ARCA rail attachment point on the forend for accessories that use that system. It’s designed to work with a 1913-pattern stock and will accept beavertail-style grips. It’s no guarantee that you’ll win your next precision rimfire match, but it might help you get closer.
MSRP will probably be in the $350 range, and Spectre expects it to be available for sale in the next four months. Keep an eye on their website here for more details. Because Spectre is based in Canada, importing whole rifles from them can be tricky (although it’s doable; they have a deal with an FFL holder to make it work). But parts alone are no problem, booth staff at SHOT Show said.
Professional hoser with fudd-ish leanings.
