I’ve had 2 284s and both of them eventually went down the road. There was nothing wrong with them but I would keep asking myself the rhetorical question, what can this gun do that my 300s and 308s can’t do? Couldn’t come up with a good enough answer to keep a gun that cost 2x to own

284 definitely has a “cool” factor though. Kind of like the 250 Savage.

I would not be afraid to take a 284 on a mule deer or elk hunt though. Can’t say the same for the 250
