Thanks for the responses. To clear up a couple of things, I know that I can rebarrel it to a 284 Win, I'm just asking what the disadvantages are of rechambering the existing barrel to 284. Will it likely be as accurate as the barrel is now or are these rechamber jobs usually detrimental to accuracy? I'm just looking for a compact lightweight hunting rig, not a target rifle which is why I'm thinking it may be a waste of money to spend $300 on a barrel when I could just get the existing barrel rechambered.
