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.

As a fellow lefty, don’t worry about it too much. It only really starts to matter when you’re shooting gas-operated semi’s as when they start getting dirty they’ll “spit” carbon into your face. This can be avoided with inertia semi’s, like Benelli & Stoeger, for example.

I say if budget is a factor, and if you’re not sure about the whole right side ejection thing, and if you want something decent, go for that Maverick 88.

Edit: BPS would be great but they are heavy!
