[QUOTE="Pharmjack, post: 629274, member: 43196"] Thanks for the reference. It is exciting to see some of this info on the poor old 284. I have had my 284 since 1970 when I built it on a Herter's BSA action and one of the Herter's roll over cheekpiece. I glass bedded the action. at the time I had not heard of pillar bedding. It has always been my favorite rifle. Maybe because of the time and effort I took in making it up. However, at the time I was happy with factory ammo giving me 1-2" moa. Shooting all of my game within about 300 yds. Then I took up archery and mainly bow hunted for over 30 years. There I tried to get shots of 30 yds or so. A long way from Longrange Hunting territory. Then a couple of years ago I took a fall and severly broke my right leg. I now have a couple of plates and a whole bunch of pins. Anyway, I thought that as I am now almost 70 years of age that climbing trees and putting up a half dozen tree stands a year was probably not that awful smart. So now I have made a new interest in rifle hunting and in particular longe range hunting. With that I also could see that it would probably be benificial to lower that moa number with hand loads. Anyway that is where I am at and it does my heart good to see the renewed interest in what I have always thought was a fantastic caliber. [/QUOTE]
