    Savage straight 8 press


    Hello,
    What can anyone tell me about a Savage Straight 8 model 730 press.
    It is gold in color, not as big as a RCBS Rock chucker, but bigger than an RCBS Partner press.
    Looked like it had a bushing screwed into where the dies should go, for maybe a smaller diameter die ?
    ANY info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I had one of those for awhile till someone here needed it more than me. They were made in the 60's. They actually had the ability to swivel within the base mount for more versatility.
    The bushing was for the old Lyman slim dies that were like 5/8" in dia.
