U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- The wait is over for southpaw shooters coveting CZ’s latest generation of precision rimfire rifles. CZ-USA proudly introduces two left-hand 457 rifles – the Varmint in .22 LR and American in .22 LR or .22 WMR – tailored for left-hand shooters.

These new models inherit the advanced features of the CZ 457 series of bolt action rifles but with left-hand comfort and ease of use. The bolt, push-to-fire safety, and a separate bolt extractor control mirror right-hand rifle models for left-hand comfort. The striker status indicator located at the rear of the bolt provides a quick visual check while hunting or competition shooting. A shortened 60° bolt throw allows rapid and convenient reloading and increases clearance between the bolt and mounted optics.

CZ 457 rifles feature an adjustable trigger mechanism with a low trigger pull weight, creep, and customizable travel. The Varmint and American both feature Turkish walnut stocks with checkering on the grip and forend. With the use of an exceptionally durable anti-corrosion finish for moisture and protection, the external metal parts hold up great in the field and make maintenance a breeze.

Barrels are cold hammer-forged, producing constancy from breach to muzzle and exceptional accuracy; each uses the industry-standard 1:16 twist and includes a threaded muzzle. The Varmint model has a shorter barrel with a heavy profile than the American’s light profile and longer barrel. The improved modular system of the CZ 457 allows for barrels in various cartridges from the previous CZ 455 series. The reliable 5-shot detachable polymer magazines used in this current series are compatible with past generations of CZ rimfire rifles.

The new Left-Hand CZ 457 Varmint and American include all the outstanding features of the series configured on the ‘correct’ side tailored for left-handed shooters. For more information, visit cz-usa.com.

I have been shooting right handed rifles for so long a left handed rifle would just add confusion. lol

DDS

Ditto, but probably for a different reason. I’m right handed, but in scout camp we went to a rifle range and I found out I have a seriously dominant left eye. When shooting the CMP supplied .22s at 50 ft. I couldn’t reliably hit the target, much less keep it in the black. One of the “adults” joked that I couldn’t do any worse if I shot left handed. That stung a bit. So i switched the rifle around and put 5 shots in the black. Nowadays, if I try to shoulder a long gun to the right side, it… Read more »

I would LOVE to get a left handed version of the Biathlon rifles used in the Olympics. Or at least the mechanism.
