Never seen one other than the dbm. Did see one which had been converted from dbm but barrel still reflected dbm. Also never seen one cataloged outside of custom shop …
I looked for one for years and could never find a winchester bolt action 284 so I had one built on a pre-64 action. Definitely let us know what you find.

This sound right to me.
Since the Winchester 70 chambered in 284 was only cataloged in the DBM configuration any variation should be approached with a health dose of skepticism and include documented provenance. You don't find real hens' teeth very often.

+1! I did the exact same thing. Fwt contour douglas in a mcm, that is a sweet rifle.

I have a friend who works at krieger barrels and he did mine in the correct pre-64 contour including the rear sight boss but no dovetailed and no front sight so like a gopher special. I have a correct pre-64 stock but also have a highly figured carved and checkered walnut stock it sits in most of the time.
