I've had a 284 in a M 98 action 21" bll for a few years and I LIKE it. Here are a few deer that Hated it.

He was trailing 1 of 2 Doe and I said "hey", he raised his head for the last time.
His left antler was broken short and i didn't know it.

And this guy was walking straight away from me and I shot him the back of the neck. Bulged his eyeballs.

The rifle is accurate and 139 HBTSP s work nicely.
