If you're looking for stainless, I believe they are still working on the final run of 97's.
I have a 97, and Model 70, both in .270, both in left hand.
The weight difference between the 2 is noticable as the 97 is a round body like the Rem 700 and has the separate recoil lug.
All other components are the same as a Model 70/76.
I am happy with mine, both in accuracy, and fit/finish.
