$1200 for a CZ LH? Dayum!
That "select wood" doesn't look much different from my ordinary LH CZ bolt rifles, or others I've seen. The one magazine and rings mentioned in the ad are just standard with a new rifle. Don't know what other custom features this rifle might have to make it worth $1200. For that money any decent gunsmith could install a new barrel in .222 Remington on any CZ bolt rifle, and probably include some tuning, and maybe an aftermarket trigger.
Ruling out a Remington while looking for a LH .222 Remington sure limits the OP's choices. Finding a reasonably priced donor and rebarreling seems like the most practical option.

Very Nice Rifles, The top one w/Lam' stock would be my choice of weight /style if I were a bit younger. I am seeking something lighter,and ready to go ; can't take the time for another build. Hell , I'm not even buying green Bananas ! Was thinking I might luck out on Tikka w/ wood or plastic so I could get right to work with it. Maybe there's some lite wgt out there I don't know about; Guess I'm just lookin' for simple, lite , short 222 . Any more ideas ? Thanks for all so far ! Rich

Look for a used Remington 788 or 700 in 222
