@GWH has a few 284s built on Tikkas and has had great success.

It's been a hammer on everything I've shot with it out to 600 odd meters.

Recoil is there but not uncomfortable, does tend to hop around when shooting from a bipod so requires good technique to spot shots.

I personally wouldn't go lighter than 150's in it, should still be able to push them over 2700 in the 16 inch barrel

I take it you are using it as a long action rather than short action (I know tikkas are only one action length)?
I'm thinking of building a 284 on a short action Tikka (to use CTR magazines) but it seems a short barrel and short action seems to limit the performance and may be better off going 7mm08.
