Im looking for a good quality left hand bolt action .22.im not impressed with the savage fit and finish but havent seen the cz452 american in person right hand or left hand.anybody here have any first hand knowledge with the american version not the lux or the 455.Im probably ordering from buds. being left handed in a right handed world my options are limited

I have a 452 Special and it is a lovely rifle. I'm not sure where you are from, but I've seen them at Effingers in Bound Brook, NJ and Tanners in Jameson, PA.

ocean county nj but im on the road throught most of nj

highly recommend the 452. great rifle light years ahead of the savage in terms of quality and value.

Its hard to commit to order with no hands on

I believe that Davis's in Sloatsburg has them if you are ever up and over the border.

Out of curioisity, which Savage did you not like the fit on? I have a Mk II BTV which is excellently built and the make a lefty stainless version, the BTVLSS

not sure which savage, 3 yrs ago I saw several at a gun show it was like a kids gun fit was poor and the finish was very dull to call it a satin finish would be a compliment with a very light barrel profile,the stock also had no character at the same time I worked in a shop and always saw nice savage thumb hole stocked guns in stainless but last time I looked these werent available.

Well they catalog them, might be worth ringing them up and see if they actually make it.

ordered it from buds today $448 it will be close to $ 600 with ffl and scope half way thru the transaction I realized my debit card wasnt activated so I needed my wifes card so much for keeping the amount from her

Which did you get?

shipped today christmas in april

high's and low's,phone call goes like this your gun is in but we are closed dam so close tommorow is going to be a long work day

I've heard that accuracy is about the same but the fit and finish on the CZ will blow you away. Its got that old world quality feel and come with anywhere from good to amazing wood. I've got 3 CZ rimfires and one .223. ill try and post some pics when I get home. They are all under a quarter at 25 with ease and eat whatever you throw in it. I've loved them from the first time I held one.
