Avoid Nikon Optics

[JakeSCH]

Apparently Nikon does not support the hunting industry so they are removing riflescopes from their product line. I have successfully used Nikon gear over the years but I say we take a stand and avoid all their optics going forward.

Nikon Will No Longer Make Riflescopes

The company will continue its binocular, rangefinder, and spotting scope lines, but it’s abandoning the riflescope market

Leupold isn't going anywhere. American made and always hold zero.

Vortex nice

Bummer. I have a Nikon Prostaff on my deer rifle, a P-223 on my AR, and still have some Monarch binos. I've sent all these in for some work at some point and have been taken care of for no cost, including once where my AR scope was fully replaced for free. Sorry to hear this.

at first i was like... wait maybe they are just not making money but since they still make hunting optics is a BAN is warranted???

and now i am not as sure. Kinda sounds like they are scared that hunting might affect the massive camera market. ( i shoot canon btw )
The market will not miss them, vortex and others will pick up that mid to low end market they pretty much sat in.
So, Bye bye nikon you will not be missed.
