It's not all about weight loss.
I love great wood in rifle stocks but there is no denying the superiority of a good synthetic like a McMillan. I have seen more than one rifle completely change personalities with a good pillar bedding job in a high quality synthetic like a McMillan.
On any hunt it's reassuring to know that your rifle will not change POI due to stock swelling/shifting etc. I learned this the hard way back around 1979 or so, but it didn't take me long to figure it out.
Been using McMillan since the early 80's when Gale McMillan inletted a Sako stock for me to a pre 64 M70.
