Back in January of 1971(50 years ago--almost to the day!!!) I came across a Ruger M77 in .284 Winchester at a small town store in Idaho. The man behind the counter said they'd had it in the store for over a year and lots of guys had looked at it but quickly lost interest when they saw it was a 284 Winchester.
He said he didn't think they could give it away. It was priced at, IIRC, $134.99. When I offered him $100.00, he said "YES!" almost before the words left my mouth.
That rifle and 150 Nosler Partitions has accounted for a great many deer, several elk, bear and antelope. As I remember it, all were one shot kills.
Best $100.00 I've ever spent.
