Tikka T3 270WSM Synthetic or walnut

[daka]

I have decision to make on new T3 in 270 WSM,
I've decided on stainless T3 but now in confusion between walnut or synthetic.
I really like synthetic for moose hunting and lighter feel, more durable and looks better after get beaten on boat,atv,treestands and what not.
since getting magnum caliber friends telling me to get walnut for less recoil.
I already have .300WSM sako in synthetic and in the begining recoil was too much but after many reloads and testing new loads i completely get used to it.
Now 270 has much less recoil than 300 and i will be carying gun a lot and that was the reason i was thinking synthetic.
Now if i could hear opinion of other nutz regarding synthetic or walnut but regarding the T3 in 270WSM only, i have decided on those two regarding gun and caliber just need opinion on stock, laminated is much heavier so dont want to consider that one.
Thank you in an advance

You can always add weight to a synthetic stock to reduce felt recoil and balance the firearm. It is quite easy actually, so get the stock you prefer and adjust it to your comfort.
