CZ Releasees Two New 457 Rimfire Rifles for Left-Handed Hunters
Luke Cuenco 06.06.22
Firearms are mostly made for right-handed people. My dad, despite being naturally left-handed never really had the patience to go through the process of purchasing a dedicated left-handed rifle so he learned and continues to shoot right-handed rifles to this day (quite proficiently). However, some left-handed shooters out there may want something more ergonomic for them and that is why CZ is proud to announce their new left-handed 457 rimfire rifle models in both 22LR and 22WMR. These new left-handed versions of the venerated 457 rifles come with all the same great features as the right-handed models, just reversed to be more compatible with those who are left-handed.
CZ Releasees Two New 457 Rimfire Rifles for Left-Handed Hunters
The controls for the new Left-handed CZ 457 Varmint and American have been modified to be on the “correct” side for left-handed shooters but are otherwise still the same rifles as the right-handed versions. The left-handed CZ 475 rifles come with cold hammer-forged barrels with an industry-standard 1:16 twist rate, threaded muzzle, and 5-shot detachable magazines which are backward compatible with previous versions of CZ rimfire rifles. The adjustable triggers can be fine-tuned for your desired weight and travel and the bolts feature a short 60° throw for fast cycling when operated by a seasoned hunter. The new left-handed CZ 457 rimfire rifles are available for order now from your CZ dealer and will retail for $589 for the American (for both 22LR and 22WMR), and $625.00 for the Varmint (available in 22LR only).
