As Sitka deer replied above "Nikon still has a rule that camera shops cannot carry both their cameras and sports optics... they do not want to be associated with blood sports and such.."
I believe there's a good populace here aware of this rule and yet some continue to clamor for Nikon products.
Tis' a bit of a head scratcher. Nikon can pound sand as far as I'm concerned.
Far too many companies building better products that are committed to hunting sports without corporate guise.
