The two letters appear to be RG. R is November and G could be ‘86. Search for Remington date codes.

Looks to be 1968. The style checkering, aluminum buttplate. Looks like an "R" second letter.

I was thinking the ribbon style checkering was a little later, could be wrong though.

That's a first year, gen2 BDL made in 1969 and has all the updated features of the new generation, such as the long shroud, jeweled bolt, rounded safety level and ribboned checkering pattern. The date stamp of "RS" has a poorly struck "S" which would indicate a manufacturing date of November, 1969 which corresponds with the serial number.

The ported barrel, in my opinion, decreases the value somewhat. So yeh, maybe $600.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
