Title: Nikon exiting the rifle scope business
Post by: Bob33 on November 25, 2019, 07:58:11 PM: https://nikonrumors.com/2019/11/25/another-website-confirms-that-nikon-is-exiting-the-rifle-scope-business.aspx/ (https://nikonrumors.com/2019/11/25/another-website-confirms-that-nikon-is-exiting-the-rifle-scope-business.aspx/)

"Nikon will be exiting the rifle scope business and that once current inventory is gone, it’s gone. TTAG spoke to Nikon’s advertising agency who confirmed the news. We’re told that this is a business decision Nikon has made based on their position in the highly competitive optics market. Nikon isn’t getting out of the outdoor optics business, though. The good news is they will continue to produce their excellent spotting scopes, rangefinders and binoculars."

Yes, best scopes I’ve owned, and I’ve owned/own most quality brands.

Post by: Bob33 on November 27, 2019, 08:12:26 PM: I have Nikon scopes on two rifles and have been pleased with them. Very good optics for the money.
