I've had several, still have 3, a 243 and 2x 308. One of the 308s is a cut-down rifle with a 17" barrel that is one of my favorite rifles for still-hunting in cover. The 243s and 308s have always worked fine, while the 284s could have failure to feed issues depending on the magazine, in that some magazines were reliable in some rifles, but not in others.

The triggers aren't crisp and MOA is something to work toward or at least hope for, but if they fit the style and terrain that you hunt, they will get the job done if you do your part.
