I about peed myself when I read that the OP bought the rifle for $200! Damn!
I paid $500 for a 48' EG 300 with Stith mounted Weaver and giggled on my way home....
I've never seen and don't expect to see a rotary .284..... just don't...
I'd love to find an F in .300, checkered and lever safety and factory DT... my ideal 99.
I owned a Win 88 in .284 for a while. Nice rifle, but terrible trigger. Ran Speer 130 Hot Cores in it for Blacktails and it worked just fine. Anything longer was definitely going to be intruding on powder capacity.
