Briley thinwall VH price check

[Boxbirder]

Right now I know of the same gun that just got back from a well known Smith out in PA. Gave it the green light asking price was 4900 of course no restore job. Now the gun with the restore and chokes he's asking 6600. So my thinking was go in at 5500. He says no deal I walk go get the other gun and can get the briley job for 600... total 5500 no blue or stock work. I don't know if it's worth to meet him half way for a shooter at 6k.

[C.O.B.]

I wouldn't pay 5K for a non ejector, redone VH shooter let alone 6K. The Briley's are a big turn off for me.

If you want a double to shoot clays with and have choke tubes installed in it there are thousands of O/U's out there specifically designed for that purpose.

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.
