Left hand CZ 452 avilabilaty

[elkkiller]

I just started looking for a left hand 452 22LR they seem to all be gone is this the end of all the new ones?

[Silverbullet555]

I think they were being replaced.

Wish they would make the 455 in a left hand.

Alas. The CZ-USA website indicates they were discontinued in 2018.

[elkkiller]

Yes and nothing set to replace them.

The 452 is a great Left Hand rifle. I have one in 22RF and one in 17 HMR. I actually like the HMR one better than my Anschutz in 17 HMR. If is a real shame they discontinued these. They were the only real left hand option for a high grade gun besides Anschutz, which were quite a bit more money, but the price for a new LH 452 is now over $1000 up here if you can locate one. There still seems to be a few places with some old stock.

At $1000.00 I can see why they still have them, can't find any in the lower 48.

Big price difference on guns up here. Right now something that costs 500 U.S. would be $700 Canadian due to the exchange difference. The 452s sold originally for about $600 but prices of all guns has been climbing steadily and the exchange has worsened at the same time.

Bought mine about 3 years ago... I’ve prob only put 100 rounds though it...

Cooper makes LH rifles, pretty sure they qualify as "high grade"

True but they also qualify as REALLY high priced. They make Anschutz seem inexpensive. If I was going to spend what a Cooper costs I would order a NULA from Melvin Forbes.

I have an Annie and a Cooperand have played with a NULA. In all sincerity, the Annie is the better deal all way round. They all shoot about the same and the Annie is considerably cheaper. I think it is a much better rifle than the NULA and am not totally convinced it isnt better than the Cooper. Just my .02.

And Dean, you would get a $2000 rifle with a plastic stock that may or may not feed from a magazine. I have seen two NULAs that didn't feed from a magazine.

I value Coopers for their wood stocks. I have two LH 452s (American and Lux), a LH 1416, and three LH Coopers. All are nice, but the Coopers are in their own class.

I also have a RH Cooper with a plastic stock and while top notch, I bought it because it also came with a nice wood stock. I would not spend $2K on a Cooper with a plastic stock. Actually, I wouldn't spend $2K on ANY gun with a plastic stock.

The OP has likely moved on, but I also agree that the 1416L is the value leader now that the LH452 is history...Tom



A primer is in order; evolution of the 57M:

Hi guys. I just realized this is my first post (so many forums I can't remember where I've been). I've been searching for a good .22LR silhouette rifle and that's what brought me here. To the quote above:

The 1416L is no longer. I tried to buy one a few weeks ago and this is what Anschutz N.A. told me:

"The 1416s have been discontinued by the factory and I don't believe I will be getting anymore of the left handed models in the future. It has been replaced by the 1761 and I know they have been working on a left handed version of it but it has not been released yet. It will likely be later next year before we will have any of the left handed versions here."
