That’s too bad. I’ve owned Nikon binos over the years and have used their riflescopes. Good stuff for the money. However, there are plenty of other excellent options.

Yup yup yup.....
Nice scopes but no big deal. Same thing with Colt. No more AR’s for us regular folk but once again who cares! Will no longer buy Nikon products as well as Colt products. Too many choices out there that are equal or better for less or equal money. Sayonara Nikon!

I agree with everyone here. I bought Nikon because of the price they were okay. But after using just okay scopes compared to the much better glass I have, I can’t stand the Nikons I have now. No big loss IMHO. For those who don’t care or have limited funds I would look to places like Natchezz for some good sale prices.

I bought Nikon and Leupold scopes in the 90s which were the must have mid priced scopes at the time   They were good quality scopes  but didn't have as much competition back then.  Now I'm buying Vortex.
