Nikon Out Of The Rifle Scope Buisness

[RONK]

I just found out that Nikon will no longer be manufacturing rifle scopes or anything else to do with firearms.Apparently there have been rumors about this for awhile,I just heard about it on Thursday and confirmed it yesterday.

I'm guessing this has been pending for awhile. They were budget priced, OK glass, way big and heavy for what they were. I've been seeing them on deep discounts for a long time.

I heard about this on another forum but with no confirmation. Of you don't mind, how did you confirm this was true?

I can confirm my company buyer was informed of this. Better question is, “What do I do with all the Nikon scopes in inventory now?”

Do y’all deal directly with Nikon or through a distributor? The other guy heard it through a distributor but had no confirmation from Nikon.

Not positive. I think direct, but I’m not sure.

Wheeler,I initially was told by a rep from another company on Thursday and I confirmed it with our Nikon rep on Friday.I beleive Nikon stoped selling through distributors.I had just placed a Nikon order for binoculars and scopes,we got the binoculars and a few scopes the back orders were canceled.
Sigfan26,we're in the same predicament,I'm putting Nikon scopes on sale.I spoke to our Vortex rep,he of course heard the rumor,I confirmed it.He's coming in this week and we'll place an order with him.

Thanks for the explanation. Maybe now is the time to grab a couple of P223s?

That sucks. My step-dad will be devastated as he’s a YUUUUGE fan of Nikons. What’s roughly the equivalent to Nikon’s Monarch 3 and Monarch 5 series in both price and quality?
