I have this falling block (??) in 22 mag. It has a Remington plastic butt pad that looks original but no other markings such as model or serial number (unless they are under the cantilever mount). I have searched the web to identify this one in vain and then I thought " the guys on CGN will know!". The tacky tacks are not original, lol. So have at her.

It vaguely resembles a Remington No. 6, but the action shape is different.

Looks like a number 6 action, however the number 4 was factory chambered in 22 wmr.........

I think you might have a rebarelled number 6 with a hand made butt stock

But the thing is, it's not a no. 6. While the action is similar in function (from the outside) the shape is completely wrong. Keep in mind that the No. series of Remington rifles are comparatively ancient, while this rifle looks brand new. It even appears to have modern hex bolts holding the thing together.

More pictures please? Maybe look for markings under the scope mount?
 
It is definitely different than a 4 or 6. I looked at those on the web. This is a small compact rifle, total length is just over 36" and I think it is no more than 4 lbs with the scope on it.
Here are a couple more pics:

By the way, I believe the wood is original. Too good a match between both buttstock and forestock. The fellow I bought it from was the second owner. He said the fellow he bought it from said it was a prototype or something. Unusual not to have a model number. There were lots of rifles, especially rimfires that never had serial numbers though. I might have to fire a few pics to Remington. They have not answered my general inquiry yet.
 
There should be some markings on the inside of the action or under the bbl butt plate is likely not orginal to the gun lets see a photo of the butt plate then a person can have a idea of what vintage the butt plate is from .Remington not going to put there butt plate on a gun with no other ID markings
 
I took the foregrip off; no markings under that. Took the buttplate off no markings under there but didn't expect that. I was really looking for evidence that the butt plate had been replaced. To me it looks like it has always been there,; no extra screw holes in the wood or other marks. The plate fits well and the screws fit like they are original. As to the wood; I can't tell what type it is. There is grain evident in the buttstock and not as evident in the foregrip. This is not some Bubba'd 20G into 22 mag or some such and if this rifle was hand crafted one of I would love to know the fellow's name. There is a caliber marking on the bottom of the receiver that shows that it always was a 22 mag. Here are a couple of additional pictures of those features.

There is/was a fellow in alberta somewhere that used to make rifles that were pretty close to that........He is also a member here. I have seen his rifles appear and disappear from the EE.......You would likely see more of this sort of thing around but homemade rifles are not allowed on the EE......

Rolling blocks and falling blocks are very simple actions to make........
 
Maybe the long way around but does the scope base have a manufacturer's mark and model # on it? If so maybe you can cross reference what guns that base fits and narrow it down some.
 
There are no markings on the barrel under the base. The base is marked 60A and will accommodate 3/8" or 1" Weaver type rings. The base has 4 holes and three are used attaching it to the barrel.
I have some pics into Remington as of last night and got a return ticket number from their customer service dept. in the states. Hopefully there will be an answer soon to this puzzle. I do appreciate all the help so far.

60A is a Weaver mount part number that lists as fitting Remy 24 and 241 (which are copies of a Browning SA-22). This leads me to believe this is not a Remington but simply a Rem buttplate was put on the stock of a custom build, like yodave said.
 
I don't know what it is...but kind of like it. You might need to get this troublesome rifle out of your house and save some frustration. I'll send you my mailing address. :)
 
This all started out as a potential trade on a Marlin 30-30 and when it appears to be a Remington but may in fact not be, the identity search starts all over. Likely will get sold but maybe not on here if it turns out not to be a production or prototype rifle from a known manufacturer.

The socks, lol, Tommy Hilfiger from Costco. You have to be careful what gets in the pic with these iPhones.....
