I bought one in 1989. Still have the bill of sale. I have killed more game with that gun than any single gun I have ever owned. My father killed his last buck with it. I gave it to my son about 10 years ago and he has killed deer, axis, antelope and bear with it.

When I bought it I wanted a 284 Win but they were back ordered and I needed a gun to hunt that season in Pa so I bought a 308 and never looked back. I've been hunting close to 50 years and have at one time or another owned or shot about every caliber there is including 284 Wins. Today, if I could only own one rifle it would be a 308 Win.
