MEC marksmen with the free floating shell holder is money and has some cool accessories as well
What accessories do they have for them? I swapped to a MEC marksmen a few years ago and have veen super happy with it.
As far as I know they have a dust cover, base, and powder measure. I really like mine.

I just put a new Redding Big Boss into service when I knocked out the toggle link pin on my Rockchucker and had to wait a bit for parts.
Over the last few days, I've been moving all the full-length cartridges over to the Redding as it has a taller opening than the Rockchucker. The Redding press seems great so far, but with the new pin in it the Rockchucker is slick as snot and tight as a new button. The Redding is going to need a half million handle pulls to wear in as sweet as the Rockchucker, but it's got good tolerances and the height going for it so I'm keeping it.
It's good to know the MEC is a good rifle press also. I have one of their 12g presses and it works great, but there are a few compromises in the materials that will eventually wear. I went with the Redding as it is US made and I really don't have to worry about things with that brand.

You can get them on Amazon I think it's called a UFO light. It's just a completely useless accessory for your press unless your reloading in a dungeon lol but I got one and it's just a cool feature and I like fancy reloading equipment
I have a Bonanza and a Marksman. I use the Marksman for all the heavy lifting. The Marksman is a tough and well made product.

T7 adaptive press head at creedmoor sports. I don't have the adaptive head only the upgraded head and it's phenomenal. But both of these are absolutely worth a long look. I will be getting multiple heads for mine.

My link got screwed up sorry but just look it up at creedmoor sports. Redding T7 with upgraded head is absolutely fantastic

What pin did you have to replace on your rock chucker
If $$$$ is no consideration, just get the Area 419 Zero press. I would never spend that kind of money on a press when the Rock Chucker can produce excellent reloads at a fraction of the price.
What does he consider top-end? How much is he willing and able to spend as a new reloaded?
