Theres very few guns I regret selling, but my last 84L is one of them.



If you think the 8400 handles badly, I doubt the 300WM featherweight is going to be an upgrade. It's a lot heavier rifle.

The 8400 in 300WSM is much better.

But maybe you just need another 84L ? Maybe a wood stocked classic with a floorplate?

Which one do you like the best? That is the one You should go with.

I own a 338-06 in an 8400, and more than a couple Model 70 Classics in 270.

I like both.

If I were looking for a good 300 magnum, it would be of the WSM variety....
