Rolling around the idea of building a 284 Win. for a hunting rifle. I have an extra Defiance short action with 308 bolt and would like to put it to use. I was thinking of a 284 running the 160 Accubond or Berger 140-168 classic hunters.

Any of you guys ran these combos?
 
I'm a fan of just about anything 284 whether it's in a 6, .257, 6.5, or 284 variant. If you're in a hurry for a barrel and can't find one I have two new Bartlein 284 barrels sitting on the shelf. I'd sell one of them if you were interested.
 
Thanks, I appreciate the offer, I'm trying to build something lightweight and I'm thinking about 22":carbon wrapped Bartlein or maybe a Carbon 6.

If I recall the two I have are Bartlein's 3B contour and 8tw so not particularly heavy but certainly not what I'd call LW either. Probably like yourself I run everything suppressed and when I ordered them it's the contour Frank recommended for use with a can. I don't know about Carbon 6 but I know Bartlein's CF wrapped barrels are typically heavier then most because they don't turn them down as small as other companies do before they're wrapped.
 
I have 2, 284 Win rifles, A-Bolt, and a 1970 Model 77 Ruger. The 284 is my favorite chambering, though it’s close to a 7mm-08, even a 308.

As long as one can reload, no worries about ammo.
 
This caliber is one of my favorites. I did a barrel swap from 30-06 to 284 win. I would recommend you go with a long action or at least a medium.
 
I think the 140-150s will be no problem, I realize the 160 class aren't really optimal in a SA magazine but I already have the receiver so I'm stuck with trying to get the most out of it.
 
not to bad if a rem and Wyatt box let you load at 3.050 big sa box remove ald screw small cut
3.25 with sa barniky kit you cut it way to almost trigger I hate this one
2.875 stock can push about 2.9 depending on tip of bullet
 
I run 140 berger at 2.910 7-08 hadly imp at 3175 fps in sa
195 3.050 2900 fps in 7 rifle golf and 7 saum
140 at 3250 2.950

284 win match sa
140 at 3200 2.925
180 at 2850 3.025
