Thanks all. Just some additional info; I believe this M97 was restocked by Simmons when it added the Vent Rib. Otherwise with a factory stock the drop at heel would be way more than the 2-5/8" it does measure. Also the action works just as slick as my Model 12's I use for Sporting. Apparently Simmons did some polishing and other work inside when it jeweled the bolt etc.
