Ok so my variation is in, Cambs say I need to wait another 2 weeks for my ticket to land and I've earmarked funds!
I have found a nice used 452 which may or may not still be available so, if not thought I would see about a backup plan!
I currently own a .22 452 16" varmint so know the 452 is a goodun, but interested in other offerings
Annie 14" is a dream
Weichrauch look interesting but I know little of them
Ruger is a nono for me
Sako finfire is lovely but no longer made (and piss not .17)
Budget wise I'm looking at 285, but I can throw in a beretta 92fs in great cond with box
