I have a pair of Ruger 10/22s. A stainless with synthetic stock wearing a Nikon 2x7 in leupold rifleman rings and a blue/wood with a bushnell tr-25 red dot. Both sighted in. So, I have the heaviest stock with the lightest sight system and vice versa. Wanting the wood stock with the scope and the synthetic stock with the red dot. Do I swap sights and resight or do I swap stocks? How would you set them up leaving the 200,000 aftermarket parts out of it? (big Tandemkross fan so it won't be easy)

Have you weighed them? Ruger's spec sheets show them to be the same 5 lbs. (Without scopes)
In my opinion, the decision should be made based on accuracy. Put the higher magnification on the more accurate rifle. The slightly heavier scope may also help with holding steady in the field.
If the two rifles are roughly the same in accuracy, then go with what pleases you on how they look and feel.
.22lr ammo is low cost and resighting scopes shouldn't be the issue.

Well, looks are a subjective thing and only you can decide on that. But here's what I'd probably do.
1) Use the 2x7 on the stainless
2) Sell or give away the blued version with it's factory wood stock.
3) Buy a Boyd's stock for the stainless.
