Left hand sxs, 20ga? - 09/03/20
Background: I have to switch to left handed shooting due to sight issues in my right eye, and I have to shelve my much loved 1927 Elsie due to the amount of cast of the stock.
So, in the market for a lightweight LH field gun, and since I'm also 6'5", I'm not even sure where to start looking. I don't mind paying for quality, but I'm not in bespoke territory, either. Did I mention I LOVE my Elsie? I routinely made 60 yard shots on the sporting course with it, and hope to find something with the same carrying and shooting characteristics, hence the sxs. I suppose a 16 on a 20 frame would work fine, too. But the amount of walking I do after Huns and Sharptails means weight needs to stay below the arm stretching limit. Not really expecting to shoot no-lead with it, either. Strictly upland.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
