CZ 457 American LH .22 WMR Bolt-Action Rifle Turkish Walnut

The CZ 457 American LH .22 WMR bolt-action rifle Turkish walnut is a left-handed rimfire built for shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy from a factory gun. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, this rifle delivers flat trajectories and reliable expansion on varmints out to 150 yards. The Turkish walnut stock is hand-checkered and fitted with a high, flat comb that keeps your eye aligned with a scope—because this rifle ships without iron sights and is designed for optics from the factory. The 60° bolt throw clears even oversized eyepieces, and the adjustable trigger breaks clean with zero creep when set correctly. Per CZ-USA specs, the 11 mm dovetail receiver accepts standard rimfire rings, so you can mount your glass and get on target without aftermarket modifications.

Key Features

• Left-hand 60° bolt throw — Why it matters: Shorter lift clears low-mounted scopes and keeps your cheek weld intact during cycling, so you never lose sight picture between shots.
• Adjustable trigger with zero-creep capability — Why it matters: You can dial pull weight down to a crisp 2.5 lbs, eliminating the mush that plagues stock rimfire triggers and letting you break shots without disturbing the crosshair.
• Turkish walnut stock with high comb — Why it matters: The elevated comb provides a solid cheek weld for scope shooters—no need for cheek risers or tape pads to get consistent eye relief.
• 11 mm dovetail receiver — Why it matters: Accepts standard rimfire rings directly, saving you the cost and hassle of a Picatinny rail. Mount your scope and shoot within minutes.
• Detachable polymer magazine — Why it matters: Reloads are fast and positive; the magazine seats flush with the stock for a clean profile that doesn’t snag on gear.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the left-handed precision rimfire shooter who wants a factory gun that shoots better than they can. If you’re punching paper at 100 yards, hunting cottontails, or ringing steel at 200 meters with .22 WMR, the 457 American LH delivers the accuracy and ergonomics to make those shots count. It’s also ideal for the right-handed shooter teaching a left-handed new shooter—or anyone who appreciates a traditional stock with modern lock time.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box; left-hand action is rare in this price range; adjustable trigger is genuinely user-serviceable; Turkish walnut stock is both functional and attractive.
• Cons: No iron sights means you must buy a scope and rings before heading to the range; the 11 mm dovetail can be finicky with some ring brands—use quality steel rings for best results.
