I was really excited to see something like the new CZ 455 tactical trainer now available , but for us lefties , we don't have a model for "US".

I am trying to find a Left handed 22lr rifle to use as a trainer that mimics my AIAW as close as possible. However , I don't know which rifles might be able to be fitted to.a AICS lefty stock.

Can I have some help on suggestions for either:

1) A out of the box 22lr rifle system that comes "close" to my Left handed 308 AIAW system
AND/OR

2) A left handed 22lr rifle that could be fitted to a AICS stock

Thanks for all the help. Even though various past posts touch on some of this, I need some help on this!
 
Savage is the only manufacturer that offers a southpaw .22lr that I know of. The Mark II BTVLSS is a LH heavy barreled .22lr bolt rifle in a boyds thumbhole laminate stock.
Boyds also sells an ambidextrous laminate savage rimfire hunter stock, that you could Paint. Boyds' Rimfire Hunter Savage
 
I know for a fact savages can be. I've got 3 in skins. Right handed.

Minor differences in this 1.0 skin. Not yet finished.

1.5 hide all the chassis unlike these. But I can live with it on this one. Will cerakote to match skins so blends in better.

Used cz 452s are available at auction sites, but the prices are incredible. I recently bowed out of a 452 gb auction at $500. It went for almost 6 IIRC that's a lot for a donor action.
 
Does this model savage come with their adjustable accutrigger?

The only ones that don't come with accutrigger are special makes for teh Big Box Stores like Wally World, Dicks, etc. Or I guess a PO could've swapped out triggers for a RifleBasix or similar...
