Hey I'll chime in too. I have an old Mitchell Copperhead that I have just loved and beat to death and it is still going. Having said that, I wanted to get another one and took a look at them and it looked like they began to make them a little bit cheaper in recent years (a lot of plastic parts). I went with a 308X Gold and have loved it so far (but just had it since Christmas). I got it for under $30 on Cabela's year end clearance. I've seen the 308X around since for 39.99. The gold has more bearings than the regular one and seems a lot more hearty.
My 2 cents.
