Can't help you with lefthanded options but i'd go with a Mossberg 500 or Remington 870. Also my dad owns a Pardner Pump and he absolutely loves it. Also a Maverick 88 is also an option with a tight budget. Maverick is basically the same as a 500 and the barrels and choke tubes are interchangeable. I don't understand why so many people feel they HAVE to have a semi-auto, i know in ohio for ducks, geese, doves, pheasant and turkey we can only have 2 rounds in the magazine and 1 in the chamber so i don't see the need for a semi-auto, your just going to be paying a ton more for it but thats jmho
