I have a 4.5-14 on my Grendel, which is as much a range toy as anything. I keep thinking I should go with something lighter and more compact like a K6, but that only gets me a few ounces. Decisions decisions!
I think the 1948 is gonna be okay. I installed a Timney with the side safety, but left the wing so I can lock the bolt. Had to whittle a bit on the B&C and open the trigger slot in the guard. Went from about 6lbs to 2.5 on the trigger. My first Timney. Now I know why they're popular.
That's funny, because at the beginning of the Grendel project, I was thinking about that same scope! I wouldn't bother switching to save a few oz. The idea of a fixed scope might be a more compelling reason to change, for a deer rifle.
Since most factory triggers weren't made to adjust, the aftermarket trade really got bigger. I would have thought that companies like Timney would have taken a sizable hit when more rifles came out with better, factory triggers (thanks for that, Savage Arms!), but they are still knocking them out.
