I have a bad shoulder. I can't shoot a stock Savage 308 like what you have.. I have been able to shoot the Savage 308 that has the "tank" like muzzle break, not the twisted holes break. But the break needs to be threaded on and the machining and break would easily add $100-150. get a nice laminated stock for $175 from Boyds or Stockys.
If you like the rifle and the scope, do what I did, add a Stocks Varmit thumbhole laminated stock. My Creedmoor has a DBM, but they come both ways, blind center feed and DMB.

The extra two pounds of the laminate stock and the much better butt pad totally changes the recoil from almost too much to something I could shoot a hundred rounds a day out of. Of course I can't buy 5 boxes of ammo, and I know 308 is actually harder to find than the 6.5 Creedmoor.
My rifle weighed 7.4 pounds stock, and 9.7 with the heavier stock and heavier scope. Quite a bit lighter than those tanks that weigh 17 pounds.
