I'm attracted to a synthentic because they are lighter than a wood stock
You need to do some research. Most cheap synthetics are no lighter than wood, and many are heavier. Hogue is one of those that is a LOT heavier than wood.
Weighing stocks on postal scales can be quite informative. It does vary by individual stock and manufacturer, but MOST walnut bolt action rifle stocks are pretty close to 32 oz. Winchester Featherweight and Remington Mountain rifle stocks are in the 28-30 oz range. Most laminated wood stocks are going to be about 36-40 oz.
Most factory synthetics are in the same 28-32 oz range. When you get to inexpensive aftermarket synthetics stocks most are about 32-36 oz range. Some, like Hogue are 40 oz with pillars, closer to 48 oz with full bedding block.
When you move up to mid priced stocks like B&C they do offer a lightweight version for some rifles, butthey are still about 28-30 oz. but most are 32-36 oz. Same with HS-Precision.
Even high end synthetics from McMillan, Brown Precision, etc.which start at about $500 will be 32+ oz for their standard fiberglass stocks. To get a true lightweight synthetic prices start at around $600 for a Kevlar stock. McMillans version will weigh 22-23 oz. Brown Precision makes one as light as 16 oz.
I wouldn't waste my time or money on most aftermarket stocks unless you're going to spend the money to do it right. The factory synthetics at 28-32 oz are as light as you're going to get for under $600 and shoot just fine.
I've tried just about all of them. Either stay with factory, or save your pennies and go with a McMillan Edge. My Edge stocks aren't any more accurate, but are about 1/2 lb lighter, and look a lot nicer. They were expensive, but I gained something for my money. I can't see spending $200-$300 for a downgrade compared to what came on the rifle.
