Shotgun for Turkey Hunting?

Oh yeah, I'm also a left handed shooter, and don't own a single left handed weapon. For my rifles, I just get boyd's to make me a left handed stock for a right-handed weapon.
The only time I've had issues shooting a righthanded shotgun left-handed was using reloaded shells and got flash in my eye. That was the day I started wearing shooting glasses when shotgun hunting.
I have the money to purchase a left-handed weapon, but, I'm so used to using right handed weapons and their safeties that I might mess up if I had a left handed weapon in my hand!
 
i also have the Stoeger 3000, for 10 yrs now, and have no issues with it whatsoever. I pheasant, quail, rabbit, and turkey hunt with my shotguns.
Also have a remington 870 and 1100. During really cold weather, my old trusty 1100, which i love, gets a little jammy ever now and then. Never had the Stoeger malfunction 1 time in the same conditions.
When it's time to hunt, I have a choice of which gun to use, and I'm always choosing the Stoeger. I will highly recommend Stoeger shotguns.

The benelli/Stoger inertia bolt are pretty darn reliable. Don't think mine has ever jammed and I had it in some pretty rough conditions duck hunting when I was younger.
 
Mossberg makes a good shotgun for turkey. A lot of the turkey purists like the Mosssberg. Plus, most models have the ambidextrous tang safety.

Same here. LH bolts feel wierd. I do alot of offhand practice. So unmounting the gun to rack the bolt just make your shooting better. LEarn that cheek weld real good.

The only left hand firearms I own are traditional muzzleloaders. Rock or bits of cap in your eye and face is not fun.

For years I would just use lever action guns or over under shotguns. RH 870 or 500 mossberg does not bother me at the trap or skeet stations.
 
Look at a Franchi Affinity. Its lightweight and functions great. A Browning pump would be a good gun for a lefty.
 
I'd look for a gun you could mount a red dot to.
 
Tristar if you want semi or 870 if you want a pump.Reminton used to offer a trade up on stocks if you bout the youth model
 
Would this stoeger 3020 fire tss safely? Is it assumed that any modern shotgun can? Looks like a fair price, but it's not drilled and tapped.
