Shouldn't be oo hard as all of the classic pumps m12, m37, m31, m870, m97 were made in 16 ga, as were. Many of the autos. I love all of the classic pumps and they are quite numerous. The A-5 is coming down in price if you want an auto and I love mine. As two doubles the savage 311 and old lefever nitros were made in 16 ga and should be in your budget range. The two caveats I'll trhow in is be aware that some of the older 16s were chambered for 2 9/16 shells which are available but mostly mail order and the later reintroduced remington 870s $1100s are quite a bit heavier than the originals. Other than that get a nice o.der gun in good shape and you re golden and own an American Classic.
