Like the others said, grab up the 284. They carry a heavy Premium ($$$$$) here. I have a M100 in 308 and it is a great gun, I'd snatch up a 284 if I had the chance in a heartbeat!

I agree wholeheartedly - get the .284. I'd love to find a 100 in that chambering. They usually bring a premium price as does the .358. The .308 show up regularly at my local gunshop and I put them back on the rack. But if a .284 or 358 show up when I'm there, its going home with me.

Well I guess if I had any doubts at all they are long gone.
If anyone from "Wincherster" were to read this thread they may get the idea that a good deal of the rifle buying folks would stand in line to buy a M100 in .284.
I'll post up a pic of me at the range with my new gun in a few weeks.

Dang... I just checked out the ballistics tables at Winchester's site on the .284. Looks like a heckuva nice little cartridge. With the 150 grain bullet, it shoots flatter than either the .30-06 with a 150 or the 7mm-08 with a 140, and retains energy better than either of them. Makes me wonder whythe .284 isn't more popular.
