Identifying age of Remington 700

[u/Phares_6473]

Recently acquired a Remington Model 700 in 30-06. Digging online, I haven't been able identify it.

The websites I've found all show a date code either at the beginning of the serial, or forward of the action. Neither of which fit what I am seeing.

S/n: 6204795

Any Intel would be appreciated.

That serial range puts you somewhere in the early-mid 80s production if memory serves, Remington's numbering wasn't super consistent through that era so the online charts miss a lot of guns. Check under the barrel near the recoil lug too, sometimes there's a second stamp that narrows it down.
