Nice rifle, I'd ditch the scope and rings for something a little better and not so tall before I worried about finding a stock and can for it. My BSA 6-14X40 never did track well but held zero for 6-7 years atop a .223, but the optics were terribly poor at the higher powers. Those rings just way too tall with that base for my tastes, and I'd try to get the scope down lower.
As far as the McMillan not being worth the money its all personal taste. I'd rather pay the extra money for the lighter weight over the Choate. I like the more options over the HS and B&C options for the Savage as well from McMillan. However, I wouldn't hesitate to have the B&C inletted for the DBM bottom metal especially when looking at Choate.
I like the looks of the Kestrel can as well and have been trying to figure out if I want to start the whole process of getting a can. I like the idea of them but most of the shooting I do doesn't really need one. I'm usually by myself most of the time at the private range I use or on my own property when I'm doing a lot of shooting.
