Here is another report confirming that Nikon is exiting the riflescope business but they will continue to produce their spotting scopes, rangefinders and binoculars (see my previous post here):
This rumor is coming from vendors: Nikon is supposedly slashing production of some of their sport optics product lines. Apparently they’re being told that all scopes and red dots are discontinued. I cannot confirm this rumor. Let’s see if Nikon will release an official press release.
