Im lefty so I looked at Ithicas, Browning BPS and 870 Lefty. The Ithicas ranged, used,from $175.00 to $450.00. I saw at least 8 of them, all barrel lengths and conditions. None had choke tubes. Moreover, Ive read Ithica has gone in and out of business and I didnt feel confident enough to know which "vintage" of Ithica to look for. The BPS's were scarce. I finally found a 1994 with Ducks on the receiver, NIB (see my post regarding the missing choke wrench). Finally, the 870 lefty raise an issue of if I got a Deer slug barrel would the rifling have to be reversed, (or so the dealer thought). Regardless, I plan to keep this gun long term and pass it on to my right handed son, so a lefty 870 wasnt a choice. Maybe do a web search for ithica, there website is real decent and offers a $25.00 coupon on a new one.
