Lets say I wanted to buy a ready to shoot flintlock half stock rifle. Around eight lbs or under fairly short for getting around in the brush. Good quality, $2,500.00 or under.
Where would you look? Just window shopping right now.
 
I have TC Hawken from the late 80's with a GM Barrel, awesome rifle though not historical correct. Accurate, good handling.... No longer made but plenty of used ones out there.
BTW... mine is not for sale
 
The new "Mountain" rifle manufactured by Ardesa (in Spain) for Traditions, in 50 caliber and with a twist in 48", is also a good option in flintlock, as Ardesa has greatly improved the quality of its flint locks. It has a great relation between price and quality.
Another option is the flintlock Hawken Woodsman (Traditions) which is somewhat shorter and weighs less.

Greetings from Spain.

If it is for hunting, a Lyman Deer Stalker 54 flint comes in at about 550.00 for a 24 inch barrel, accurate, 1:48 twist, flintlock rifle. Inexpensive Quality.

I would look and ask at any muzzleloading club that is within decent driving distance. Those clubs usually have the go to guy/guys for what is going on and good equipment in the area. If you have that kind of money, don't go for a factory assembly line gun. Purchase a custom, but check it out first hand in person so you can see and feel it.
That is what I would do!
Good luck!
