The Winchester M88 was a good idea, but poor execution, at least trigger design-wise (technical term). Why that rifle chambered in 284 Win didn't break sales records is beyond me. I guess there was some speculation that the 7mm bullets were needing to be seated too deeply in the case in a true short action rifle. We know that is bunk today, and probably written by someone that never had used a 284. Speculation of the rebated rim causing problems was another myth some writers liked to damn cartridges with, without fact.

Oh well...
