Have you considered a top ejecting Win 94 lever? It is both right and left handed.

No use for saddle rings, but the loading gates in the side of the receiver are a good proposition for left handers. Just hold the rifle out by the grip and start loading shells from a right hand side pocket, using your right hand to push them through the gate.
I always thought the side gate Winchester lever rifles and Colt SAA revolvers were secretly designed for left handers.

I suggested this from seeing my left handed girlfriend loading my Remington 1100. It was so much easier for her to load it than me (I am right handed). When I asked her if she wanted a left handed shotgun for 3 gun, she said no, because loading was so much easier for her. I actually am looking for a left handed shotgun for myself because of this. BTW at the MDFI foundation shotgun class she was reloading faster than me, even though I had much more experience, I only say ths because she never lets me forget...
Shotguns of this type typically load from the bottom, so the loading port is pretty much ambidextrous. The right/left on them comes with operating the bolt, where the ejection port is, and safety lever/switch/button. A pump eliminates most of the bolt issue, and a tang safety covers that, you just have the ejection remaining.
There is a rifle that is mostly ambidextrous, box mag feed, forward ejection. I am not positive about all of the controls though.
For the most part, if you want a left handed rifle, buy a left handed rifle.
To the OP:
You have the Remington 1100. Go buy a cantilevered rifled barrel for it, mount a good scope on it.
Then go to the range and figure out which of the sabot-ed slugs that it likes. Get it zeroed in for the proper range.
There have been some real advancements in the ammo in the last 20 years. You have a 200 yd gun with just a little work. You don't need more than that in Michigan.
