Mark, I agree. I thought maybe, some folks would want to know. Nikon has been around a long time to just stop dealing. Time will tell.

This is what I found on the subject:

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/nikon ... -business/


I’ve been using Nikon gear since I was a pro photographer starting back in the mid 80s. I own one cheap UTG scope (not mounted) and everything else is Nikon for me. They make an outstanding product. Apparently they will continue with the rest of their hunting/shooting related products, so it must be a market share based decision. Better that than a “we want nothing to do with firearms” kneejerk decision based on politics and social pressure.

Despite getting out of the scope business, I would hope they would still honor warranties.

Dang! Most of my 'scopes are Nikon...good product at a reasonable cost. Leupold is pricey up here...I may have to start taking a closer look at the Burris offerings.

For a while anyway, until they run out of parts to service them.

I have a Burris on one of my rifles, it's a nice scope, but I like my Nikon's better.

For anyone interested in grabbing a Nikon scope while they're available, Natchez has some good prices, especially on the factory refurbs. If you don't mind some minor cosmetic blemishes, the refurbs carry the same warranty as new, at a pretty good discount. I took advantage and upgraded two of my rifles, plus a couple spares.
