Author Topic: Lefty Shotgun (Read 5865 times)

Hey I want to get a left handed shotgun for waterfowl since my O/U is too nice for me to take on duck hunts. And I don't have a whole lot of money to spend. I would also really like a semi auto but there aren't many in my price range (below $600)

. And I am wondering if a shotgun like the Charles Daly Field hunter VR-MC is any good.

If you have shot one of these or have one please tell me how it performes. I have heard good and bad about it and I am wondering what your experiances are with it. If it isn't any good I may just get an 870 express, but I don't really want a pump.

why you got to be an outsider and be a lefty?

used Browning BPS might be an option to look into if you go pump

Tell me about it!!!!!!!!!! I hate being a lefty

I have thought about the bps but they seem awful heavy.

He's too cheap to buy a benelli M2....and that's what he needs for next year when he's driving his buddies all over eastern WA duck hunting

He's got a nice berreta onyx but he can't hit

with it and he thinks a better gun is gonna help him

No charles daly here

But i do have a left handed M2 and i like it alot. I know its not in the price range but it was mentioned up above.

I dont really mind shooting right handed guns but it does make it nice when you have a lefty one just for you.

I also had an O/U before I bought my M2, and couldnt justify dirtyin up such a purty gun

270Shooter · « **Reply #10 on:** March 09, 2009, 08:08:38 PM »

Yeah the M2 would be awesome. But I can't spend that much money on a gun I may not use that much.

Unless maybe they make it without the comfortec stock, in a lefty configuration. But i dought it.

road.kill · « **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2009, 08:39:39 PM »

I dont think you can get them new that way (could be wrong) but i think the older SBEI didnt have the comfortech and they mightve made those in LH. Maybe used or something?

@RCHER · « **Reply #12 on:** March 10, 2009, 04:11:25 PM »

That's what I was thinking as well. I own an SBE in left-hand and have used it almost exclusively for everything over the past 10 years. Hands down best auto-loader I've shot. I'd think you could find a used one to fit your budget.

Remington makes an 870 that has the ejection port on the wrong side.

Yes, it is a pump, but will last longer than any auto you may look at.

@RCHER · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2009, 02:14:44 AM »

The Rem 1100 and 1187 comes in LH as well. I have a LH 1100 setup with a 24" barrel for quail and sporting clays.

I used to be right-handed, but overcame my handicap at an early age.

I have heard mixed things about the dailys.
But with anything you either get a good one or a lemon.
I am also left handed but two of my shotguns are right handed and so is my rifle. I also have two really nice o/u and used them all the time for pigeon shooting in England, and since I have been back in the states I have them wrapped in towels in the the gun safe so the wood doesn't get scratched.

270Shooter · « **Reply #16 on:** March 11, 2009, 06:20:13 PM »

I wouldn't mind a right handed semi auto. But the gas getting in my eyes hurts bad. Plus the saftey in on the wrong side for me too.

I might try and look around for a used benelli M2 or SBE. But I dought I will find many in yakima.
