Home Forums Hunting & Shooting The Lefty Forum CZ left hand 22 mag

Ordered one of these yesterday. Review/report to follow sometime in the upcoming year, lol. My only wish is the barrel should be 20-22 inches. But that can be fixed.

Looking forward to a report, the CZ rimfire is a gun I would like to get at some point.

I had an inherited RH version of the same and sold it early this year. Never shot it.
For whatever reason, CZ never really did much for me, and I never considered a lefty of theirs.

Would like to see the T1X in 22 mag LH. I have a 17, and it shoots incredible.

Agree on the barrel length. 24" seems excessive on a rimfire. Like you said, easily fixed.

I personally, like a 24” barrel on a rimfire. Never thought of it as a hindrance.
The action is so short that the longer barrel just helps the rifle balance better, IMO.
I own a couple LH CZ 452 Americans in 17HMR and 22LR. My only gripe is the 22” barrel.😁

Funny how we all have different tastes.

Now, why they made it 24.8” is beyond me. Must be a European thing. And why did they change the checkering from their former “classic” point pattern? Don’t know how they can call the new pattern “classic”…looks out of place to me on an “American” style rifle.🤷‍♂️

They are nice shooting rifles though.

Now I am curious, is anyone (beside Savage) CURRENTLY building a left hand 22 mag that has a true left hand bolt with left hand ejection port?

You have review of the gun for us I’m debating on get one
Thanks

I am jealous

Don't beat. I am still waiting for KyGunCo to ship it, lol.

I have the same rifle but right-handed. I bought it about 8 or 9 months ago. The accuracy has been really impressive for a rimfire. It's the first CZ I have used and I am impressed with the quality.

Finally picked it up from my dealer. Wood is dark with some figure. I am sure the checkering is machine cut but it is still impressive. Very well done. Trigger breaks at approximately 4-4.5 pounds with ZERO creep or over travel. It will sit in the safe until I get a chance to mount a scope and sight it in. Bolt travel is smooth and rifle is equipped with sling studs. My initial opinion is it is well worth the $590 I paid for it. Factory mag is 5 rounds and I bought a CZ 10 round mag for $34.

Thanks

I agree for the same reason. My Marlin 39 has a 24" barrel and it's never been an issue. Likewise with my Lyman Deerstalker flintlock muzzleloader. I prefer 22" or shorter on centerfire though.

I wouldn't mind having one of those either. Appreciate you posting the details Snowwolfe.

I have 2 CZ's in lefty, a 22LR w/16" barrel and a 17HMR w/22" barrel.....both are smooth shooters and I added Yodave spring kits and trigger jobs on both.

Just bought one as well

Picked this up the other day thinking I would want to lop at least 6” off the barrel, but after putting 50 rounds through it shooting offhand I’m leaving it. It’s so well balanced and accurate; quite pleased with it.

I like that too

Furious,

The magazine size suggests that's a 22 LR and not a Mag, Correct?

I'm curious how the 22 Mag's shoot & with what ammo.

That’s correct; it’s a 22lr
