There is no stock you could order that is going to give you a drop-in fit.
But a Model 98 Mauser commercial sporter stock will be able to be fitted.
PHs use their own barrel contour. The barrel inlet may not be too close. The cutout for the bolt handle and trigger mechanism are also areas where adaptation will be required.
A cracked stock can often be repaired with epoxy, and perhaps strategically located pins.
 
Yup, depending on where and how bad your stock is cracked it can likely be repaired. Lots of guys here that can help with advise or do the repair, post a couple of pics of the crack.

This is an understatement, ordered one for the kids PH '06 and it is a fitting nightmare, not one thing or area fits properly. Learned a lesson about PHs. Pretty much had to hog every thing super oversize and then glass it in, doable but no drop in by a stretch.
 
I put a Boyds laminate stock on a PH 1200 given to me by my father in law and I used the large ring mauser stock. Boyd's website has a little tutorial as to how to tell the difference between a large ring and a small ring http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/Replacement-Stocks-for-Mauser-s/8.htm As has been mentioned, it is not a drop in by any means, but it's not all that tough if you take your time and check the fit as you go. When I say take your time, I mean this is not a job for a Sunday afternoon, you are likely going to have to invest 20-40 hours depending on how handy you are and the type of finish you use. A piece of advice based on mistakes I made - If you go with wood or laminate, don't put a finish on the stock until you're sure you've done everything you want to do with it. It sounds simple, but I didn't realize the hard rubber pad that came with the stock wasn't going to cut it until I took it out and put some rounds through the rifle. Ditto bedding the forend, as conventional wisdom is that rifles usually shoot better free floated.
