Desert Mule Deer, Does he still have the 284? I have Sako records of 243. 244, 308, and 358 being made, but never a 284 win. The 284 win was first built by Winchester in 1963 in the model 88. Anything is possible, but your the first 284 finnwolf I have ever heard of. It would be an interesting gun as the standard clips probably would not work for the 284 since it is a fatter case. The 284 was the original short mag in its day. So the clip and feed ramps would be different from the 308 and 243. Definitely an odd duck. I would love to look at that gun. I have handled a lot of Finnwolfs and 88s through the years . I have 2 model 88s in 284 win. Daryl
