That's a very rare chambering, indeed!! It was only made from 1964-1972. The models made were the 99F, DL,DC,C,DE, and PE. The .284 is one of my favorites, it was a design ahead of it's time. The case capacity of an -06 in a .308 length!! The only restriction is the length of the magazine.
My favorite rifle is a .284 I built on a Turkish 98 Mauser action. Since it's a small barrel shank, I turned the front ring down to small ring diameter. I chambered it long so I could seat the bullets to a full 3" OAL. Room for more powder since the bullet isn't taking up space in the case.
The only problem will be finding brass/ammo, but it's out there.
I'd jump all over it!!
