Yeah, it's great being a comfortably retired baby boomer with all the world's left-handed .22's sitting in our vaults! :bthumb:
The younger generation of left-handed shooters are SOL, ain't they?
I've left instructions to have my left-handed .22's buried with me.
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.
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.
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.
Well that's no fun. I'm fortunate to own both a 1416DKL and a CZ452 in the lefty variety, and both now, apparently discontinued. Don't think they will be going anywhere....
I just mounted the scope on my HMR. Luckily all of the hard work was done before it bought it (floating, bedding, and Rifle Basix trigger). I hopped on it because it was the only one I could find for sale. I wouldn't mind having a Lux some day if I could find one for as good of a deal as the HMR was.
I just sold one of my like new 452 lefty .22,s and a ex 6-24 weaver classic to a clay games shooter friend of mine(also a lefty). he,s happy as a clam.
I passed on one a couple of years ago for $300 in pristine condition. Already had a Remington 581L that was a tack driver and a new model left hand T bolt, so I had no real use for it and a buddy of mine wanted it for his son as a birthday present. So I didn't feel too bad passing on it.
I have been looking everywhere for a couple of months and cant find one anywhere ! Very discouraging to say the least. But hopefully I will get lucky soon.

Greetings. This thread caught my eye as I’m interested in a left handed CZ 452.
My principal interest lies in shooting groups accurately, rather than dumping mag after mag. I’ve turned blue waiting for the LH version Tikka T1x to arrive in stores. It’s time to hunt for something else. Can’t afford a custom build at the moment. A CZ 452 looks like a rifle that would suit my purpose. Leads on a tight-shooting .22LR bolt action would be appreciated.
(This is my first post to the forums. Go gentle on the new guy.)
If anyone is interested. Ozarks Shooters in Branson, MO has a LH 452 American on the rack, has been there for quite some time, It has a Leupold 3X9 EFR scope on it
