Back in the mid-sixties I came within a cat whisker of buying one in the then new .284 Winchester cartridge. I believe the cartridge was originally designed for the Model 100 and it's sister, the Model 88 lever. Problem was, I wasn't eighteen yet and my old man would not let me spend the $150 for a gun that shot "one-a those new fangled cartridges". Instead we went to the surplus barrel and got me a M1917 Eddystone in ougth-six for $25.
