Brian, I own one Big Horn Armory Model 89 and will be getting another one. Their "upgraded" wood leaves a lot to be desired. Here's a link:
http://www.bighornarmory.com/catalog...e-500-sandw-2/ I was hoping to get one of their ugly-duckling stocks duplicated and then do the final finish myself. Cecil Fredi is patiently working with me on selecting a blank right now. Have mixed feelings about checkering or not. The stocks they now put on their rifles have laser-cut checkering and I'd definitely rather have none than that.

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. IMG_7531.jpg IMG_7533.jpg 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.

Brian, that's indeed a beautiful Model 71 but I agree it would look better with checkering. PM sent your way.

I too have used Silver Hill with success, although I bought my own machine a few years ago.

Article I read said that Fisher uses the Hoenig machine. My buddy had one for a short while before he passed and I had Mr. Hoenig profile and fit stocks to 2 Sako rifles back in the 80's.Unreal tolerances and I actually used the one rifle without the stock screws in place.I understand that H&H has a Hoenig. Sure was a time saver but still demanded care and fore thought when using it.
