Do you know why they stopped making scopes?
Factory rep told me that hollywood was putting pressure on them to stop making them . Hollywood buys lots of high dollar movie cameras from nikon and they basially told them to get out of the rifle scope business or they would cameras elsewhere.
The same hollywood which makes bazillions creating shoot e'm up action movies using Nikon equipment.
A different riflescope rep claimed the enviro whackos threatened Nikon with full-on assault against their binocs and other birding equipment which apparently made more money than the sporting optics division. Who knows what to believe.
I've got four Nikon scopes which have performed flawlessly and were great values.
