They're not all bad - I had a Cricket with a synthetic stock that worked very well.
But, you just can't beat a nicely figured bit of walnut and some blued steel.

The first proper rifle i owned was an air arms jackal so i embraced ugliness at a young age..
I could also show you a photo of my ex wife to prove the point!!
"FETCH IT THEN!!!!"
Yep.. infact weirdly all my hunting guns including the huntsman classic which is the best bit of walnut I own, are walnut (not all blued though). & My only pleasure gun (not used for hunting) is a laminate 77. Which is blued!...,not even really sure what I was trying to say now!! Lol. Yes to walnut & blue on hunting guns!!! Lol.
Synthetic is just a bit weird if you ask me...
The manufacturers already have the perfect alternative to walnut & beech & that is laminate I think.. in greens, browns & grey. Its really stable & almost completely impregnated with wood treatment making it really waterproof, (& if it isn't it can't be hard to make it so!) & If the colour is an issue then just stain it darker.
As op says it's just personal preference.
