Lots of different styles, reasonably priced, strong actions, good aftermarket parts support and they are very accurate.

Same reason the Chevy 350 or Ford 302 are popular. They work are reasonably priced and are heavily supported on the aftermarket side of things.

Like several American makers, they've been putting out some crap lately and doing the court circuit.

Agreed. M700, M7, and 870 are classics. Versamax is underrated as well.

I've never understood why Remington was so popular. I guess you would have to give credit to their PR department. I do know that I have seen more Remington's fail in the field than all other brands combined. Usually its the extractor but not always. Triggers are known to have problems too.

Remington has been a leader in firearms, ammunition, targets, and many, many more industries since 1816. It is one of the most credible and one of the greatest manufacturers of firearms in the USA. Remington manufacturers all kinds of firearms that includes Rifles, Shotguns, Handguns, Ammunition etc. Remington Arms is also the oldest company and gun maker that still make their original product. Well, it happens to be the largest producer of rifles and shotguns in the U.S. just because of its high-end products that have been carrying their legacy from past Two Centuries! If you are planning o to buy yourself a firearm then think none other than Remington.

Personally not a fan of any remington out there. I hear that the older rifles were of better quality. I have looked at a few in stores and found them to have poor finishing, sloppy actions and generally poor finishes.
I hear they are great to modify. New triggers etc.
I think a large driver of their success is their price and legacy.

I wonder if Jasongraves will have some Remingtons for sale in the buy and sell soon at bargain basement prices.

These Remington threads never fail to disappoint. Much ignorance out there based in internet hearsay.
Don't like the current quality of new offerings? Buy older used then.

Reliable actions despite many opinions. Gunsmith opinions matter to me. People who don't own or have never shot one? Not so much.
Not the best gun out there but far from the worst and very comparable to what rolls off Winchester lower to mid range gun assembly lines these days.

People don’t like the remingtons cause they think there cheap and crappy, but there actually pretty good for there price point. The newer Remington mountain model I have in 7mm08 shoots just as well as the tikka t3x in 270 both shoot ~3/4-1moa the tikka fan boys dont like to hear that but in my load development accuracy of both is about the same. The remingtons have amazing aftermarket support and there pretty easy to work on I’ve used trued Remington actions for a few builds now and they have turned out to be great shooters. I think there alot of misplaced fan boy brand hate out there for a few brands the Remington 700 seems to get a lot of it probably cause everyone paints them all with the same problems as the Remington 7xx budget friendly series rifles.

Oddly
The 700 design is the most copied bolt action.
It is, by design (the 3 rings of steel) despite its trigger issue, the safest rifle.
Its the rifle you want shouldered if there is a catastrophic failure, such as a plugged barrel, you will likly keep your vision.

Because they are reliable, accurate, many models to choose from and will not break the ol' bank account.
