I looked at the 17 when the 17Mk1v was on the go and the 17Rem came out not long after but it was the reputed fouling of the rem and the wind drift that stopped me wanting one so step forward a lot of years and the 20/221 fireball or 20 VarTarg has well and truly filled that long looked for niche
I would go with the 500 Jeffery to make a big and small comparison.
