I agree that the 284's are better. . . If I had grown up shooting something other than the 270, I probably would use one. But I just have too much history with the 270 to abandon it now!

I figured while I was rebarreling (mostly for contour and accuracy, upgrade from factory tube, Winchester Mod 70), I might look at the wildcats. Not much available though. . . Benchmark (the company I will have do the work) is producing faster barrels anyhow. I'll be money ahead to just use a standard 270 for sure.

Any other input though?
