Smart marketing I'd think. Look how many people buy into the modular upgrades on the crap Tikka synthetic stocks, upgrade the bottom and bolt shroud plastic to metal, go to AICS mags, upgrade the factory recoil pads, etc. The aftermarket for Tikka rifles is massive.
Must be something good about those Rem actions tho considering how many higher end factory rifle brands and customs use them. One of the most accurate rifles I've owned/own is an older Rem 700 BDL with a simple bedding job to tune things in, and the 2 BDL 7RM's I've owned were both vg shooters.. The two least accurate out of the box rifles I've ever owned were a Win model 70 and a Browning. Gag worthy quite honestly. Will never own another of either.
