Need a 7’6” version of the NFC mb708
Posted by: Thomas Kaufmann (---)

Good afternoon all,

As the subject says, I am looking for a 7’6” version of the MB708. I am thinking I could get very close by cutting down an MB808 to 90”. I tried the delta 767 and it’s far more powerful than what I am looking for. I have a delta version of the MB708 and it seems to be right on track for what I am after except for the length.

Thanks
Tom

You might want to go the other direction and extend the MB708. Action will be a tad faster that way, whereas cutting down the 808 will result in a bit slower action regardless if you cut it from the tip or the butt.
