Abstract: Let $G$ be a reductive linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed base field $k$ of characteristic zero. A $G$-variety is an algebraic variety with a regular action of $G$, defined over $k$. An affine $G$-variety is called stable if its points in general position have closed $G$-orbits. We give a simple necessary and sufficient condition for a $G$-variety to have a stable affine birational model.
