I've got a couple of 284 wins. Both rechambered tikka 708s. One is a T3 cut to 17" with DPT magnum suppressor. Long mag and bolt stop. The barrel was throated long to suit 162s seated out in...

I just got back from testing the Zastava on paper. I ended up backing the load off to 25gr from 26.5gr with the 75gr Sierras and seated them to 47.5mm to feed from the internal mag. This dropped...

I’ve got a 260 carbonlight, with optilocks, 3.5-10 x 40 vx3 and DPT it’s about 7lb. Light as fu*k and balances well. Shot a few deer with it now and I like the caliber.
