For wet weather definitely go with a synthetic stock over a laminated.
I've had both and in the rain the factory Wintuff Winchester 70 laminated stock swelled so much the recoil pad looked 2 sizes too small and the gap between the forend and barrel disappeared. All of this happened in one full day of rain.
Since, I've never taken another laminated out in the rain.
Stick with the synthetics!!!
