Lefty 457
« on: August 09, 2024, 10:26:02 PM »
I'm having a tough time deciding between this and the Lefty Tikka, both in .22lr. I'm sure most here will recommend the CZ. Is the CZ left hand heavy barrel variant coming with a threaded muzzle? And the 457 is capable of easy barrel swaps?
Use will be suppressed target shooting.

Thanks for the help.

I can't believe no one has replied to this. I recently purchased a left handed CZ457 Varmint.
The barrel swap is very easy, remove two action screws, remove the action and barrel then loosen the two grub screws on the barrel to swap the barrel. Easy Peasy.
As for threaded the Varmint barrel is not threaded but it can be easily threaded by a gunsmith mine charged $95.
I believe the American barrel may come threaded if not after market or older threaded barrels are available.

Thanks for the reply. I had forgotten about this post.
I bought the 457 Varmint Left Hand last summer. I like it.
