I put a Phoenix on an R700 short action. It's a great stock, and I think it's right at 2 lbs. A few things to be aware of: the barrel channel on the stock is very wide to accept pretty much every barrel contour but can look odd because it doesn't sit close to the barrel. Also, if you mount a sling, the swivel studs will be located on the side of the stock, not a big deal but know that the rifle will sit sideways while you're carrying from a sling. It has adjustability in both the recoil pad and stock which is nice. Also has a built in level.
