Buy recommendations Advice: Shotgun for Lefty

Looking at purchasing a Shotgun, however, I'm left eye dominant and shoot from the left. I'd love to be able to grab a Blueline pump or Mossberg 88 but I've read mixed things about leftys shooting right eject firearms.

Are there any leftys out there who shoot these guns (or any other right side eject for that matter) and can offer there opinion. I know Browning Bps is an option but budget is a consideration.

I've also considered single shots and wondering if someone can recommend something other than a Daly 101 or Federation.

Thanks All.

Browning Bps. My hunting partner is also left, he uses one and so do I. It's bottom eject and tang safety so I can hand it to my right handed wife and she can use it without issue. Helps that it's probably one of the nicest pump shotguns you can buy.

If you're fine with fixed choke you can get one for about $450. Used newer models go for about 600-700.

Would love to know where you're finding a BPS for $450, the cheapest used one I've seen recently is $700.

But agree, a BPS is a great choice.

Fixed choke is the key. I bought one for $375 from proline shooters in Calgary last year. I've seen probably 5 more since at the same price range there. If it's $700 then it's likely modular choke, I have one of those too, I paid $799 new, for it in October, also in Calgary at a different small shop (flys etc in high River, I believe they still have a few).

I think you massively scored with that $375 pickup, that's far cheaper than what I've seen as an average (even with a fixed choke).
