What's are some affordable (under $1500) shotguns that are side by side 16 gauge single trigger. I like the SKB 100 with splinter forend and pistol grip stock, however to my knowledge they never chambered 16. I also like the 25" bbls but would settle for 26".

Thanks in advance.
 
Only one I know of off hand is CZ currently makes a Sharp Tail in 16. Only in 28" barrels and fixed chokes IC/MOD.
 
New? Not much. Used: Stevens 311, Savage, Fox Sterlingworth probably your best bet. Some of the Germans Sauer and Merkel may be available in that range and, with patience, some of the older but decent Spanish guns, although I would shy away from single trigger Spanish guns in that price range.
 
The Dickinson Estate model imported from Turkey looks nice. It can be ordered single trigger and pistol grip. It has a round action which looks pretty slick. I read Cabelas is a distributor for them. Next time I stop at Cabelas I am going to see about handling one in person and see if they do custom orders.
 
My sole SxS is a 16 gauge Lefever Nitro Special. It has 2 triggers though.

I had it cut down to a 20” cylinder choke coach gun because there was a nasty patch of rust pitting at the end of the barrels. It kicks pretty hard with Federal #1 buckshot, but with field loads it’s a hoot to shoot an occasional round of trap with.

Good luck with your search!
Stay safe.
