Nikon rifle scopes
I just read on another forum, and from a vendor, that Nikon is out of the rifle scope business as of Jan 2020. Man, did not see that one coming at all till today. Always thought Nikon had a good market there. What the heck!?

Re: Nikon rifle scopes
I learned a long time back to never say never but I don't put much stock in this report .... as I recall, the first time I heard this same rumor was back in 2010 and it circulated again two or three years later .... it will be interesting to see if anyone can come up with a link to a solid source

Re: Nikon rifle scopes
JEBar, believe me, I understand how these rumor mills work[sort of]. The vendor I mentioned is here. Doug at cameraland, phone #: [516] 217-1000. cameralandny.com. Pretty reliable source. We shall see.

Re: Nikon rifle scopes
Got 4 or 5 of them here, when I saw the title, thought maybe you going to tell me they were having a big sale.

Re: Nikon rifle scopes
I'm not sure if this means anything but I went to the corporate web page and riflescopes are not listed in their product line catagory of sport optics. Perhaps my search was in error.

Re: Nikon rifle scopes
Nikon has a couple of different web sites, based on the product category, and not all are linked from the corporate "nikon dot com". In this case the right url is https://www.nikonsportoptics.com/en/nik ... index.page.Shakey Jake wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 8:10 pmI'm not sure if this means anything but I went to the corporate web page and riflescopes are not listed in their product line catagory of sport optics.

That said, they may be spinning off that product category as a separate company. Large corporations do that a lot for purely business reasons - profit, shareholder interests, etc. .

Nothing in the financial news that I could find related to Nikon Scopes.
As for cameras, that business is in trouble. From a few days ago.
