Did the model F in 284 ever have a lever safety or were they just available with the tang safety and the ugly gold trigger?

No, and yes. You could buy one in a DE or PE. Thems not ugly too bad.

284F only came from the factory with tang safety and gold trigger.
Having said that, there is probably one out there to prove me wrong.

By memory, my cut checkered 1964 99F may not have a gold trigger, but it definitely has the tang safety. I'd have to check to be sure.

I have pics of 3 99F 284s in the 1073xxx to 1075xxx, 2 have cut checkering, 1 has double-diamond pressed, all 3 have a gold trigger.

And the 284 F receiver was different in much of it's design, so I'd be very doubtful of any factory made with lever safety.

You know, I have said time and again that the only post-mil I would want would be a .250 99A carbine. All this talk about .284's has me revising that thought. Always been intrigued by the caliber, but never owned a gun with which to shoot it.

Gary, the mighty 284 absolutely smashes whatever I've shot with it. It really gets the job done muy pronto with the Speer 145 grain btsp. Here's one train wreck piled up in a rock slide, from a 364 yard head shot! Nothing to be afraid of when carrying a 99 in 284.

Those are some impressive blacktails killed with any caliber. The one on the rockslide looks a little bruised, but rack looks like it survived.

Looks like I can take the DL284 as backup on the Wyoming mule deer hunt rather than the 300 Weatherby. I used 140 gr. Nosler Accubonds on the elk. I'll have to try the Speer 145 gr. BTSP and see if I can get a good group with them.
