Default Browning O/U 725 left hand

Wondering whether there is a lot of difference between a standard Browning 725 and the left hand version? Looking to buy used and not any used LH versions available. I shoot a 20 gauge standard Citori with no problem. Is the minor stock alteration worth the money in a new LH 725?
Thanks! Wapiti11

I have a Citori XT Trap lefty and my buddy shoots the same in RH. Butt stock palm swell and cast off are the only differences. In fact, the three trigger shoes included with mine were all right handed. FWIW, I can't hit anything with his gun...

I've only ever tried rh versions and have enjoyed them - a few rentals from silver willow and a buddy's 725 field. But I tend to shoot far more squared up than the average shooter I think, so the right hand cast of the stock may be beneficial to my correct handedness.

The 725s that I owned, all had right hand palm swells, but the cast was neutral.

I shoot left hand and have a LH 725 my son has a RH 725. my LH shoulders way better and the beads lineup better then his RH. You will shoot better with a LH is worth the extra money that's your call. If I was you I would keep looking for a LH model. Salt Lake Gun have a new LH 725 sporting for 3500.00 in Canadian Access To Firearms You didn't say if you where looking for a field or sporting model. I use my sporting for pheasants and geese. My hunting partners complain a little about my noise ported barrels.
