NFC SB 683 X-Ray and SJ762 HM.

Post by eagleriver1_fish » Sun Apr 25, 2021 8:34 pm

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these blanks and if yes what are your thoughts/opinions and any thoughts on the best applications for them. I'm especially interested in comments on the SB 683. Thanks in advance.

I picked up a SB683 and SB684. Other than noting the insane light weight (1.17 and 1.45 oz respectively) I haven't done anything with them yet.

Thanks for the reply. Mine just came today and my 683 came in at the exact same weight (1.17 oz). The 762 HM is only 1.65 oz, I probably won't build until winter, but I hope to get some measurements on the action, power... before then and I will post.

683SB X-ray RDA power 226, similar to MB703 Delta. I do actions a little different so no number but moderate fast.

684SB X-ray RDA power 386, similar to MB704IM/704HM, action fast.

Hi MikeK, just curious about the SB683 X-ray. the action is "ex-fast" as showed on Edge website, is it such a big difference as you measure it mod-fast? plan to get one to try, so might need a bit more info, thx.

NFC to me does not do a good job describing the action and power of their blanks.

The MHX blank is definitely extra-fast . . .
