Dennis,
This is a rifle that my uncle had built back in the early 60's (I am not sure of the exact year as being youngster at that time it did not register), I know through conversations with him prior to him passing is he felt this cartridge was good enough to take any game animal in AZ and I am sure that the abundance of 06 brass played into his decision (my theory only).
I have been using this rifle for the last 20 years myself and it has served extremely well.
It is a true 7mm-06 AI not a 280AI
I hope that answers your question.
Phil
