<9.3x62>284 on 70 CRF SA
Anyone had one done? Just curious if the CRF and the rebated rim get along nicely... TIA

bluetickNo doubt it can be done. They even offer it in a couple of the custom shop guns.

<9.3x62>Yes, that sounds familair now that you mention it. Hmmm... might have to make a go of this project after all. Just pull that mag stock and I have a 3+" mag - perfect for a 284...

MasteriflemanWell, hundreds, if not thousands of .425 Westley Richards managed to function on Mauser 98s and the amount of difference in the case body and the rim is far greater on the .425 vs. the .284. I don't think you'll have a problem.

N. GarrettI have a 25-284 on a custom Mauser...incredibly accurate. Feeds pretty good.
However, for that particular cartridge, if I had it to do over, I would do it on a push-feed action. I think it just might be slightly more smooth.

Ol` JoeI`ve a 6.5x284 on a M1999 CF short action that`s given no problems feeding to date, I`d say go with it.

Ol' Joe did you have to do any work to the feed ramp to get the 6.5-284 rounds to feed smoothly on the MRC 1999 action? Mine wants to bind (the bullet tips hang up on the ramp) when chambering a round.

RickFI have had one done, 284 Win on a short M70 CRF. Send a personal message to Bill Leeper, he built it for me. It turned out well, but feeding caused him a lot of grief, especially the second round off the left side of the mag.

WoodjackI have a CrfM70SA and have considered it for 284win aswell, however in all honesty,for what I would use it for, 7x57 is more than adequate,and no major feeding issues.

Ol` JoeWoody,
I haven`t done anything to the rails, the action is "as came". I haven`t had any trouble with feeding but usually have run it slow off the bench and haven`t really pressed it too much looking for trouble. The few mags full I tried fed OK so I dropped worrying about it.

Good thought. With the 3.05" mag box, a 7x57 might fit just fine. I'll have to look into that...
