early 80s, got my first Roy , .270 with exceptional wood , seller also had .300 and .340 with exceptional wood and 224 varmintmaster i picked up few yrs later , not so fancy...but boy did it shoot with factory!
When I purchased another Roy after that , the store owner allowed me out the back to the storeroom to open every box and I only found one MkV with great wood.
