The problem with the standard stock is the flex at the end of the stock. If you're looking for weight savings alone, the standard stock would be the way to go. Either the McMillan or the HS Precision stocks would be far above in rigidity over the standard stock. I would prefer either one to the standard stock.
You're right, the chasis that savage uses for the BA is way too heavy. I would go with the BA if I were looking at shooting F-Class with no weight restriction, stationary target shooting, but not something I would hump over hill and dale. Either the McMillan or the HS Precision would be excellent choices. Try both, see what's more comfortable, and go with that one.
