Yup, you got it. You should be able to slide some paper underneath it.

For an inexpensive but very good drop-in stock check Boyds website. They will even checker it for an extra $50. I kinda like the Prairie hunter model. Walnut and laminates. Laminates are under $100 and walnut a bit more

The "tang" is generally refereed to on a BA as the portion of the action from the bridge rearward. For most "Off Brands" (:p) it serves as the rear attachment point for the action in the stock. In the case of a Savage its a convenient location for the safety bar and some trigger functions, safety engagement, over travel, WOP(AT) and etc.
