Their is two 284 thanks to the 6.5x284 Norma and OAL 3.228" on a long action and Mel Forbes build his 284 Model 20 with 3" magazine. Browning was the first to make bolt action 284 back in the late 60's and I wish I would of gotten one of them [url=http://www.gunsinternational.com/Browning-Safari-284-Win-.cfm?gun_id=100213464]Browning Safari .284 Win. - Browning Belgium Safari Rifles[/url] The gain in my 284 is the long action and 27" long barrel and here is one a short action [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek095.html].284 Win Tactical Hunter[/url] I get 3048fp with 53gr/R-17 using 160gr AB seated out 3.150".
