Those of you hunting with the ph2 how is the factory stock? Who makes a good replacement stock? Wanting another 6.5 prc trying to stay around 8.2-8.5lbs scoped ready to hunt. I know I can do it with a ridgeline but not sure I can with the ph2.

IMO it’s one of the best factory stocks out there. That weight seems like a stretch with a decent scope but maybe? I’ve only used the long action magnum PH2s and I def don’t think you’d get there with one of them.

I sold a ca ridgeline with the AG carbon alpine hunter stock , a vx5 3x15x56 w/a ca 20 moa rail that weighed 8.2 ready to hunt. My current 7 prc ridgeline is bone stock & I think it was 8.7 lbs ready to hunt with the same vx5 scope. With no dealers around me it’s hard to commit to one.

I’m pretty sure a ph2 barreled action is going to weigh a fair bit more than a ridgelines.

This is rokslide.. chop/thread a T3x 6.5 PRC SS lite and throw it in a rokstok, echelon, or peak44.

Lol true, I know everything is high as heck now but it still blows my mind that a tikka can cost almost as much as a ridgeline. The last box I bought for my 264 win was $59 at Cabelas for 130 gr nosler accubonds & I saw last night that box is over a $100 now.

Anyways enough down that rabbit hole. The short action ph2 is listed at 6.9 lbs vs 6.3 Ridgeline. I reached out to peak & ag composite for a stock on the ph2 but neither offer one. The feel of the ph2 is about the only negative I can find on the ph2. Other than the few comments about the drop down mag for hunting/carrying.

Does it? Stainless tikka retail price is under $880. There are sales and currently a $75 rebate that often gets a guy below $800. I don’t look for em but I’ve never seen a ridgeline under $1600. For $1600 you get a worse action, worse stock (functionally, made with more expensive materials), way worse odds of a chamber being machined correctly, and higher odds of a barrel that walks when hot. Probably better customer service though that you’re more likely to use.

What negatives are there with the feel of a ph2?

Sorry I was looking at the stainless super lite yesterday that’s marked $1499. Eurooptic has several ridgelines under $1600, I have a 6.5 prc in my cart for $1573.
Some reviews say it feels cheap but everyone has their own likes/dislikes. There’s a stainless ph2 6.5 prc on gunbroker thats been up a couple weeks but no round count info.
