I will have to remove the side mount scope to see if its stamped under that.

The gun is in good condition with just normal wear on it.
I'm not as familiar with that model as I'd like to be but I do have one single shot .22 that has no serial number on it. It's possible your Remi didn't get stamped with one. Knowing Remington though, I'd suspect it has been, I can't recall them ever not stamping an SN on any of their firearms. That .22 of mine is some obscure make/model I picked up at a gun auction for $15 so I'm not overly surprised it didn't.

Oh, speaking of Reminton's. My good friend and hunting partner has a Remington 700 in .270 It came from the factory with that stupid trap door magazine that has been put on so many hunting rifles (whoever thought that was a good idea........geezzzzz). He bought a Kwik Klip for it which is an assembly that converts it from trap door to removable magazine! I hadn't seen that before but what a nice deal.

A removable magazine is so much quicker/easier when you're out hunting. Now he'll be taking that gun along on our next trip..........LOL.
