Nikon is no longer making optics for firearms

[d.kaufman]

First I've heard of this. Apparently Nikon is no longer going to be manufacturing firearm optics.

It is a Bummer. I have 2 Nikon Black FX1000 scopes and they are great. Great glass, 100% reliable, and love the turrets on them as well. 1 is in a 308 and the other a 6.5grendel. Definitely not Walmart crap

Thats a shame. Nikon made a quality product for a reasonable price.

I'm sure Amazon market will continue to sell counterfeit Nikon scopes for years...
