You may give Wind River Rifle a call. They do Winchester restoration work.
My 303 brit 1895 has been restored and has replacement wood. It is a beautiful rifle and gets a lot of field time. I don't worry too much about scratches or dings, or normal wear, because it's already been "wrecked" from a collectors standpoint.
Unfortunately, I've never been able to determine who did my rifle. It is an outstanding restoration and requires very close inspection of the metal to distinguish it from orginal. In fact, to this day I'm not entirely certain it is redone, aside from a double-strike proof and a shallow roll stamp. The bluing looks Winchester and the edges are crisp.
Anyway, I vote for the restoration. I have owned zero finish rifles and restored ones, and each has its place. If its what you want to do, go for it and I think you'll be pleased.
Here is mine when I first bought it:
And here it is field-ready, dressed up in Levergun Leatherworks garb:
