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.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.
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.IMO it’s one of the best factory stocks out there. That weight seems like a stretch with a decent scope but maybe?

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.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.
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.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.
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.
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.Does it?

What negatives are there with the feel of a ph2?
I think I’d be ok with it the factory stock. Based on the pics it looks similar to the ag alpine hunter I had on my Ridgeline.Next to the Rokstok my PH2 is my close second favorite stock.
