I've had both. The 7-08 will not touch the 284, all things equal.
I too, and you're right.
I love the .284 Win, but in a 2.800 mag well like the 700 SA, my pic is the 7-08AI.
You can easily add a Wyatts box to the 700 and seat bullets out to 2.880. Plenty of length for even the longest 7mm bullets.
That said, there are no flies on a 284, just less brass
284 win brass is just as easy to find as 7mm08.
