General, I think you're right on the .284 not getting the credit it deserved. I have been shooting the .284 for appx. 20 years and have absolutely no problems with it, it has killed many deer and elk for me. Balistics are better (like for like) than 30.06 and my 99F still has great grouping, enjoy your rifle, I'm curious what the comparison would be the newer 7mm WSM balistics, Vern.
