Before getting to far into this, you need to determine if the finish is the Remington "Bowling Pin" epoxy finish.
That finish was used on most Remington rifles and shotguns for many years and is one TOUGH finish.
It's also one tough finish to get off, usually requiring a special type of paint stripper that will attack the epoxy based coating.
The Bowling Pin finish is a glossy, extremely hard, tough finish that's noticeably different than a varnish type finish.
You can take it to a good gun shop and they'll usually have Remington's with the same finish to compare it to.
Once you know what you're dealing with, then you can decide the course of action.
That may be no more then applying a coat of wood wax, to totally stripping the finish and starting over.
