First remove the recoil pad. There's two screws holding it on, one near each end. If pull sideways on the recoil pad you'll find two small slits in the rubber. Slide your screwdriver (flat blade) into the slit and fish around for the screw heads. Once you back those out and get the recoil pad off you'll be able to look down into the back end of the stock. You'll need a L-O-N-G flat bladed screwdriver to reach down inside the stock to remove the bolt that fastens the stock to the receiver. Pretty straightforward operation once you know how it's put together.
Best to let a gunsmith do it.

To my knowledge Browning never released production figures by caliber.I know that the .284 Win.was made in the A-bolt hunter model,A-bolt hunter medallion model,and the A-bolt Micro-Medallion model.The Browning BLR was first introduced in 1971. Made in Belgium it was available only in .243W or .308W calibers. Production moved to Japan sometime during late 1973 or early 1974. In 1976 the .358 Win was added to the BLR lineup. In the 1982 Catalog, the BLR had a new name. Browning Introduced the "New" Model 81 BLR. In addition to the 243, 308, and 358, the .22-250 was introduced. Two more BLR calibers were introduced in 1983: The .257 Roberts and 7mm-08. In 1985 the .222Rem and the .223Rem were added for a total of 8 different BLR calibers In 1989, Browning added one more caliber to the BLR lineup: The .284 Winchester for a total of nine choices. The 1990 catalog shows the .222-Rem being dropped. In 1992 Browning introduced the 81 BLR Long Action and made it available in .30-06, 7mm Rem Mag and .270 Win. All of the other eight calibers remained and were available in the 81 BLR Short Action. In 1993 The .257 Roberts and the .358 were dropped from production. 1995 was the last year for the 81 BLR Long and Short action models. The new Lightning BLR was being introduced and several of the short action calibers were discontinued in 1996, including the .284 Win. So, after much research, the answer to the question is that the Browning BLR was chambered for the .284 Winchester - begining in 1989 and last made in 1995 for a total of seven years.Proprietary information not in the public domain.
