The first 90% or so is awesome...
1 of 1 found this helpful Overall, I would say this book is a pretty interesting bit of "historical fiction" (I don't think that's the correct term...but this gist is that this story is a fictional account of what happened to the men of "Franklin's Lost Expedition" - google it - it's an interesting bit of history)...mixed with a bit or horror and/or science fiction, and in general, I guess I would recommend it...
HOWEVER, if you break the book into two parts - the first 90% or so and the last 10% - it's almost like those two parts were written by different authors.
The first 90% is basically a very detailed, lengthy, and somewhat exhausting account of how these men survived (well, most of them...for a while) with their ships stuck in the ice for like two years - and it's actually pretty compelling...and I found it hard to put the book down...
...and then the last 10% nearly ruins the entire story.
The last 10% is basically an "explanation" for the horror/sci-fi aspect of the story (and/or a "resolution")...and it is completely unnecessary, doesn't fit the mood of the rest of the story, and is flat out silly.
If you do decide to read this book, this is what I recommend: when you get near the end, at some point the story will start focusing on the main character "Crozier" and how he is rescued by the Inuit girl in the story. Once you get to that point - where you realize that he isn't dead, and the girl has saved him - just stop reading right there. The end.

Great "budget" mount
IMHO, this is probably the best value out there for this style of scope mount...and it's very, very similar, if not literally identical, to the Weaver SPR Thumbnut mount.
The bottom line is there's really nothing to complain about given the price. The overall construction/machining is pretty good, it's nice and solid, the general dimensions (e.g., ring spacing, height, etc.) are reasonable, the weight isn't bad at all (c. 7 oz I think), and the thumbnuts work fine (they can be easily tightened/loosened enough by hand).
I guess I would prefer if it held the scope a bit higher (it's about 1.5")...and it might be a bit more versatile if it had a bit more of a "forward offset"...but those are pretty subjective.
Note the "recoil lug" on the bottom can be removed - this may give the user a bit more flexibility with respect to where on the rail/platform it can seated.

Very underappreciated
This might be the most underappreciated LPVO on the market. Sure, the reticles are limited and not illuminated, it's only goes up to 4x, and it has a 1 inch tube...
However, it's has much better glass than the 1-6x LPVOs in the same price range (so that "loss" of 2x magnification is arguably meaningless), a pretty darn good "true 1x" (so much so that I'd say the 1 inch tube isn't a problem at all...and besides the FOV is still about 92 ft at 100 yards), and only weighs about 12 ounces (vs 16-18 ounces).
The overall construction feels great at this price point, and the windage/elevation adjustments are pretty crisp and audible.
If Nikon was smart, they'd offer the exact same scope with a few "tactical" reticles, tone down the markings on the body (e.g., get rid of them or "grey" them out), and include a throw lever of some sort.
