The .284 is one that I've thought of building many times, but never could pick an action to build one on. Then the notion goes away for a year or two.
As far as the 7mm-08 vs .308 win go, I've had at least one 7mm-08 around since my dad brought a model seven 7mm-08 home in the early-mid '80's. The first new rifle I bought for myself was a late '80's Mnt rifle in 7mm-08. It was quite a few years before I had a. 308, and I've had some nice ones, but they always seem to go down the road.
