I am so banged up can,t pump my 870 good so it is time for a auto loader .The only ones in LH that are under $ 600 are Turk made ones .TriStar Viper is one and Escort is another . Will be for Geese and predators .Berettas, Benellis and Rem are all $1200 to $1600 . I absolutely will not buy a Right hand Semi have been down that road .Anybody here tried a TriStar or Escort ?

Check out gun broker. Found a Franchi 12g for $749.99 and Beretta and Benelli 12g for under $1000.00 all of them new and buy now so no bidding and the Franchi had a take a shot (which means make them a lower offer and they might accept it.)

Don't have either. That TriStar Viper gets a lot of high praise over on Shotgunworld.com

I supplied 5 Tri-Star to the school trap team years ago, all autos and all still working fine thru countless Shells. My nephew and two of my sons have also bought the Tri Star for a toss in the boat duck gun. No complaints from those three concerning their autos. Terrific bargain, break it in properly.

I don’t mind shooting a right hand auto, but I love the smell of burnt powder and that shell wizzing by delivers.
If you are going to be doing a lot of shooting you might want to pass on the Franchi.

I never expected to get this much feed back ! Great news and my thanks to everyone of you ! I appreciate the time you took to reply. Most of you guys know how difficult it is to get the better deals on exactly what gun you really want however you might as well get that one as you only pay for it once .It is difficult to get the lefties at all much less the specific barrel length ,black or wood stock . I would prefer the wood but it looks like I will have to settle on the black furniture . Thanks smith
