I had a new 28ga Pardner delivered about 6 weeks ago. I was surprised that it included a cinnamon laminate stock set, heretofore reserved for current Ultras and the special production Topper Deluxe Classics for the NWTF in the past. It is a straight-top comb like the old NWTFs, and not a Monte Carlo as now used on the Ultra Deluxe (not a thumbhole either). It does result in an additional pound of weight over the advertised weight with beechwood stock (6-1/4 lb vs 5-1/4 lb), but I find that no detriment - I won't be carrying it in the field for more than three hours at a time, and the extra weight helps the felt recoil of heavy field loads. Dunno what is happening at H&R. The stock set profile looks very similar to the current solid and laminate, non-fluted Rem. 870 Express. I assume that Ilion stock plant is making both, and adapting the Rem. receiver connection for the smaller H&R frame - accounting for a bit more weight. Also, the stock is made up of 22 layers of some kind of wood with a good bit of resin between, and somewhere I read that Rem. claims that their laminates are resin-impregnated for weather resistance.
