Why are they so popular? Well maybe despite the poor finishes, sloppiness (which isn’t always a bad thing), supposedly horrible triggers, etc, despite all of that they just plain work. Combine it with them being the most customizable rifle out there where you don’t have to use a single Remington part if you don’t want to.
In all honesty there is only one thing I don’t like about them and that’s the lack of a locking bolt safety. That’s the only reason I went away from them. And I found a solution for that from Pacific Tool and Gauge after I got my new hunting rifle.
