Super happy with Choate Tactical Stock/CDI Bottom Metal combo from E Arthur Brown Co (https://www.eabco.net/Savage-Detachable-Magazine-Conversion-Stock--Short-Action_p_15372.html). If I could have sprung another ~$250, I would probably have gone with a chasis from MDT. The Choate Tactical is a really stable platform, just heavy. Great for bench shooting or prone. It has a channel under the foregrip that allows you to adjust the bipod exactly where you want it. For $400 this is a solid option to upgrade the Tupperware and get into a detachable box mag. I can load up the bipod fully and there is no flex with the stock. The total package is around 14# now and in .223 the rifle hardly even moves when firing.
This is at 100-yards off bipod only with Hornady 73-grain ELD Match .223. I was concerned at the 12FV 1 in 9" twist having ability to stabilize a 73-grain bullet but no trouble at all.
