5k seems crazy to me. There was a nice VHE 12 32" on gunbroker for weeks for $2000. The stock was refinished, barrels 90% and action 50% were original and nice. I would keep looking, you can add Briley's to any gun if it's what you want. I wouldn't buy a high grade gun with choke tubes, but they wouldn't bother me on a V grade. I just think with a little patience you could find what you want for much less.
