If I choose to go to the Leupold rim fire, what do I need to look for?

I have my heart on a Nikon,...but am open to changing the goal. Warranty being the deciding factor.

it would be helpful to know if Nikon as a company plans to continue to back the warranty on their scopes

Not that I've ever had a problem with any of the ones I have, it would be nice to know if they will still warrant thrm.

Seems to me that unless the whole company was going under, then they would have to honor warranty on any previously sold product. Nicon has a great reputation and I can't see them jeopardizing that. Would be bad for PR. Dunno though, just a thought.

I was told at a LGS that if you have a bad scope Nikon would still honor the warranty but more than likely not replace the scope with another scope and would be credit toward items still in production.

What I like about the Leupold rimfire scopes is that they're smaller and lighter than most others, so, to me, look better on small .22 rifles. I liked that about the discontinued Weavers, too. Of course, that's just my perspective, others mileage may vary 
. And there is that lifetime warranty, as well.

I don’t see any reason to worry about buying either a Nikon or a Leupold scope. Both companies make excellent products, and both back them up. I think I’d go to stores and handle them and look through them and buy the one you like best.
I have scopes from both makers. They are different, but are all really good.

As above, we have both Nikon and Leupold rimfire scopes and enjoy them both. I do think the Nikons have better optics for the dollar, but as mentioned, they are full size scopes, basically the same size as their big game scopes. They can overwhelm a small 22 rifle and the large lens housings make it tougher to get a low mount on the gun, especially a lever gun. The Leupold rimfires are a much more classic rimfire scope.
