I can tell you one thing about wood stocked Winchesters. They do not shoot worth a darn with the factory wood. I had 3 in different calibers that shot a lot better with Ramline or Hogue replacement stocks.

I have a M70 circa 1971 in 30-06 that will shoot a 9/16" 10 shot group at 200 yds with handloads. It still has the original wood stock on it today.

The older wood stocks just need a bedding job and they shoot fine.
