It's the CZ 557 Lux Left Hand. It comes in 8x57 IS . Apparently it's only on the CZ website in Europe. Anyone ever heard of CZ USA importing it for sale in the USA ??

Yes. They are very accurate and good rifle. Some people get it in a .22 mag. Semi automatic and use it for hogs on are wma’s.

Zastava is similar. A commercial mauser available here but not the metric calibers or full stocks. I'm eying their full stocked 6.5x55 and 9.3x62 full stocked on their website but not available in the US. Strangely it looks like they may be available in Canada.

I didnt know CZ made a left hand. CZ rifles are very good guns. I had a LH Zastava in 9.3x62, but traded it on the Montana.

I bought one of my boys a cz scout in .22lr. I really like them. There is a high probability I will get one or two of there 527 for hunting on caliber restricted public land if they ever offer it i
In 350 legend. Esp since I think my braced pistols legal days are numbered before it will become a sbr

I have never heard a bad thing about a cz.

I had a Remington 799 in 22 hornet. These were zastava’s mini Mauser. Biggest POS I ever had. Trigger was brutal and the bolt was rough. Sold it after it’s first range trip. Not sure about the full size rifles. CZ is much better than zastava. No comparison

I have a CZ 22 (I don't recall the model) and like how it shoots. Here is something I DO NOT like about it: the safety position is reverse to every other rifle I have, or have ever used. Most safeties are off (ready to fire) when you move it forward. This one is on when you move it forward. Little things like that cause accidents--and safeties exist to prevent accidents. Bad design.

The Zastava was a good rifle. I wanted stainless or I would never have gotten rid of it. I would rate the action better than a model 70 Winchester.

the marlin 780 is the same way you pull it back like a hammer to fire , which is maybe even faster

there will always be conflicting designs it is up to the use to know their tool

CZ rifles are well built. Have one in 211 fireball and one in 22 mag. The safety has never been a problem for me. Think you will be pleased

This has been changed on their new .22's. I agree I dont like the safety on the 455. It's also ridicules stiff and hard to operate. I took it apart and stoned it + worked it thousands of times it's better but still way to stiff.
