Here are some photos of a Winchester 71 that I restocked this past year. Looks like a similar gun to yours. The customer did opt for some nicer than factory wood for the buttstock.
It does not have checkering since it is the standard grade and not a Deluxe. I would have liked to checker it, but we wanted to stick relatively true to what is correct for the gun.
But, if you are thinking about it, it would be my opinion to have a quality hand checkering job done on the gun. It will look SO much better with it than not.

If you are looking for duplicator recommendations for that particular gun, I would suggest looking into a company called Silver Hill Co. They duplicate a lot of stocks for Winchesters and other lever/pump guns. They have some pretty hard to come by offerings and are always willing to do different things if you have a good pattern to send them and the quality of anything that I have ever gotten from them has been very good.
