I have an stainless african with a MKII classic. The classic will work with the Irons, although I only shot about 10 times that way. It has a 4x33 FXII in ruger lows and is a good combo. The McMillan is a little better recoil wise than the original wood stock on the African but not a miracle cure. The wood stock has a hard rubber recoil pad. I am not sure how the McMillan would compare to the houge on the alaskan.
