Found this with a GOOGLE SEARCH. It only goes up to 82,000+, in the early 1990's though.

I remember reading about that time where the author made a big deal about whether or not Sakos were imported through Garcia. I forget if it was supposed to be good or bad.

Should be near late 1969. The rifle would be considered a pre-Garcia Sako. It was probably not a 6mm originally.-Mike
