Nice score there stump.
Remington offered the 700 FS-fiberglass, KS-kevlar and RS-rynite in the late 80's.
Speculating a bit here, but based on the popularity (and quality) of the KS and FS, $800 seems like a good starting point and up from there...
Pop up a photo if you get the chance.

Wow, those FS, RS and KS were all custom shop, were they not?
Those late 80's 700s were good rifles and very fine shooters. Guys spend $500 now on SPS models that can make a guy wince if he looks through a bore scope; and the stocks are, well, what they are.
The RS seems like a lot of gun for $500.

I had an RS in 280. Shot pretty good but it had a long throat from the factory - had to really push the bullets to get them to group. I think I paid right at $450 new. Best of luck with your search......

Theirs One Listed Over On Outdoor trader. Been Their Few Weeks. RS Camo In BDL in 280 With Tasco Euro.$550.I've Owned several. They Stocks Are Very Heavy{38-40 Oz}. What Mull said. Many moon ago, I bought a RS in .280 from a shop in San Antonio, TX. It had sat on the used rack for almost 2 years according to the shop owner, and as such I was able to walk out with it for a 'steal'. First order of business when I got it home was to ditch the RS stock in favor of a Rimrock.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

All That I've Owned Shot Good. Actions Where Smooth. IMO Only Problem Is The Stock.

How did she shoot? 1MOA or better w/most premium factory loads - especially Fed Premium w/150 Nosler Partitions. Never really took the time to ring out its best w/handloads. Spent my time working up .280 loads for more finicky .280s (700 Mtn rifle most notably).
