That is looking good. That stock is great.
The only things I would have done different:
I would have use Boyds for stock. Get either the classic or prairie hunter and bed it myself. That would have save you a bit over $100 so you could...
Got a 1 piece base and Warne Maxima rings.
I would consider replacing the recoil lug with a competition one. about $25. I believe for elk shots in the 300 yards will be possible and the stock lugs tend to bend. I seen it myself in my 30-06 gun and caused me many headaches.
Nothing wrong with what you are doing, I just think for a hunting gun I would be better with a stock that I would not mind bang a bit and use the money to make sure my optics are solid.
Good luck, let us know as you step thru the process of upgrades.
