I ve had most all of them at one time or the other. Ithaca m37, Win m12, a early 870, sweet 16 A5, Citori o/u, Win m97. As you might guess I'm a bit of a 16 ga. Fan They are all wonderful guns and you should be able to find one in your price range save the o/u. I will mention that some of the older guns have 2 9/16" chambers. You can get shells from rst but you should be aware. Though I'm a bit loath to admit it I have found that there really isn't much difference in the field between a 20 & a 16. An oz. of shot is pretty much and oz of shot regardless of the gauge.
