Win. M100, .284 or .308??
Have a chance to pic up a Win. Model 100 semiauto. One is in .284 and one in .308. Not sure which I should get. (Please don't say "get both!" or I'll really be in trouble.
I do some handloading and so ammo avalibility is really not a big concern. Robin in Rocky; where it is snowing and I'll have to shovel off my garden plot so I can finnish planting. Maybe some "snow peas". |

Maybe some "snow peas". If the prices were similar, I'd buy the .284 - but I admit to having a certain prejudice in favor of 7mm cartridges...... |

Get the .284!!!!!!! I have 4 M-100s, 2 in .308 and 2 in .284. The .284 Winchesteris an awesomeround for deer.

.308 is a great gun, you won't regret that, but if you reload, there's no reason you can't get the .284, it sounds cool, it's a tough choice, but I think the .284 would be cooler since you'll be the only one who has one.
But, the .308 is still a great gun, and has more bullet mass, but I will admit I am .30 caliber inclined, since the .308 is the cartridge I shoot and hunt with. |

I would choose the 284. This gun is much more scarce than a 100 in 308. If the gun is pre-64 all the much better. The difference in pre-64 and a later model will the the checkering on the pistol grip and forearm. On the pre-64 it will be checkering and the later model will have a basketweave style. You will know what I'm talking about when you see them.

I'd take the .284 just to be different :D

The 284 is not just "cooler" than the 308, but you get 280 Rem performance out of a short action cartridge. In other words it actually edges out the 308 performance wise. What's not to like?

I would grab the .284 as fast as I could! I love the cartridge and have 2 rifles chambered for it right now. If you don't choose the .284,please let me know so that I may have a chance to buy it.

I said I wouldnt buy anymore rifles for a while but if I had the chance I would buy a 284 in a heartbeat.

Get the .284 Win .... way ahead of it's time, and although there are rounds today that do what the .284 Win can do, it's a dandy of a round, and the M100 in .284 Win is worth premium $$$'s.
sweet gun. It's on my dream list, ... that and the Win M88 lever. |
