I’m a big fan of the .284 having had one with a 16 inch barrel and now a 20 inch & love it even more.
I also had a .280 rem for a while and can also attest the recoil is more than a .284
Not meaning to throw a spanner in the works but as you have a long action, a 24 inch Proof barrel... not sure it that’s one of their carbon or steel barrels BUT another calibre I’d seriously consider is a 7mm Blaser!
