Remington Ammo & Firearms
About Remington
With a legacy dating back to 1816, Remington stands as one of the most iconic and enduring names in the American firearms and ammunition industry.
Founded by Eliphalet Remington in upstate New York, the company began with a handcrafted flintlock rifle and has grown into a trusted brand known for American craftsmanship, innovation, and reliability.
Over the past two centuries, Remington has produced some of the most legendary firearms in history. The Model 700 bolt-action rifle and Model 870 pump-action shotgun are industry benchmarks—renowned for their accuracy, rugged durability, and widespread use among hunters, sport shooters, law enforcement, and home defenders.
In addition to its world-class firearms, Remington Ammunition has been a cornerstone of American shooting sports, delivering high-quality, consistent, and dependable ammunition across a wide range of calibers.
From rifle and handgun cartridges to shotgun shells, each round is made in the USA using cutting-edge manufacturing technology and strict quality control—ensuring performance whether on the range, in the field, or in high-stakes situations.
Today, Remington operates under RemArms and Remington Ammunition, with modern production facilities in Lonoke, Arkansas and Ilion, New York. The company continues to evolve while remaining true to its roots, combining over 200 years of heritage with a renewed focus on quality, precision, and American-made excellence.
From the backwoods to the battlefield, and from generation to generation, Remington remains a symbol of trust, tradition, and performance in the world of firearms and ammunition.
