Just so as not to confuse people, when describing a scope 6x24 usually would mean 6x magnification with a 24mm objective. I think you probably mean 6-24x magnification and don't care about the objective size? Anyway I wouldn't put that much scope on a 16" carbine. More like a 1-4x or a 2-8x. But you should be able to pick up a Nikon Monarch in 3-12x42 with side focus for under your limit at Bud's Gunshop.
