$5,000 - The highest grade L.C. Smith, in any gauge smaller that 12, that could be bought in that price range.

$10,000 - A Pigeon Grade 16 (or 20) gauge Winchester Model 21.

$15,000 - A Holland & Holland Mauser Bolt rifle in .275 (7x57mm) or .375 H&H. (Might have to chip in a bit more!)

And, Jerry, I would hunt with them every day that I could!
