If you ever want to see im interested

Two 284s in the arsenal
One built on Weatherby Mk5 Ultralight (7mm08 reamed out to 284) 20 barrel, STUG stock, bare rifle 5.5 lbs. Wears a magnum DPT can - makes it a pussy to shoot. Zeiss DL 3-15 x50. Pushing 160 TMKs at 2850 fps.


The second built on Tikka T3 (2506), 22in Truflite UM bbl 1:8.5 twist, contour slightly heavier than standard Tikka profile. KH cf stock. Bare rifle 6lbs. VX6 3-18x44. Pushing 162 AMAX at 2950 fps

Hard to beat for an all rounder that can easily stretch its legs !!

What's the recoil like on the tikka without a can or brake?

why do they not do up properly? Do the flats on the rings touch before they tighten up on the scope?

Good question- I ran the barrel in and did all the load dev with out a suppressor, either prone off bi-pod or off bi-pod on portable bench set up. Recoil is noticeable (“sharp”) but not unmanageable by any means. I seem to have a reasonable tolerance for recoil so someone else might think otherwise - a lightish 300WSM without can or brake is about my limit for recoil. adding a DPT can tames it down nicely.

I found a t3 270wsm with nothing to be a handful? My 300wsm I didn't even attempt Haha that got a t2 real quick

Yep Greg’s brakes do the trick very nicely

Phfffft those aren't 284Wins

This is a 284win

This is my one here, Rem 700 action, 27" trueflite ultramatch barrel, stronghold innovation stock and a krg bolt handle. Shoots the 162 eld-x at 2850 (slow but could push more if I felt like it) 5-6" at 1000. Been awesome shooting some good stags as well as a few chamois as well.

Looks like a Southfort stock to me...?

Any good on mod 7 action? Or is it better with a longer action /mag box?

Mine. 19 inch Barrel running a dpt. Vx5 up top. Shoots pretty good. have shot 4 inch, 5 shot groups at 600m. I run the 162 eld m at 2750 with h414. Seems to work.

This one must be well good even comes with a fork

I was thinking of doing a 20-22inch barrel and having a magnum dpt on it. Just a case of selling my wsm and win mag and then going from there :-)

Not mine it belongs to Anotherhunter but seems to live in my safe.
