We have had confirmation that there will be no more Nikon scopes
Its too bad, as they have been one of the best value scopes in the business. We have truly enjoyed working with Nikon Canada and our rep, Travis. In many recent years we sold more Nikon scopes by unit number, than all other brands combined. It is very difficult to exceed the quality of the nikon lenses in their price range. We love these scopes and will miss them in our lineup.
Good news is we have a decent inventory now, including a few of the old models.

Do not worry about warranty as the company is still around and they will do something, perhaps giving a cash voucher for and scope that malfunctions (will follow up with details as they become available)
Thanks again to Nikon Canada for the years of business and in particular to Travis and his pro staff team. We will miss you at the Calgary gun show and on our customer appreciation days.

Seriously, what's up? Is Nikon no longer manufacturing scopes period? Or is this only a Nikon Canada issue?

I’d be willing to guess the company is trying to distance itself from guns and “military sniper rifles” .

Wow. That’s real unfortunate. Lots of good products.

It seems its more of an economical issue. Rifle scopes are a tiny portion of their sales and its almost totally a North American market for them while their other products are worldwide. USA sales, apparently, have been quite soft. Originally Posted by jiffx2781

Its really quite hard to believe as, although we are one small independent retailer, the number of Nikon scopes we see go out is almost unbelievable.

Truly unfortunate. I love my monarch, and I have friends and family that love their Prostaff's. I guess they had too high of a value factor to remain viable to the company.

More then half the scopes on my gear are Nikons

They will continue to sell rangefinders, binoculars and spotting scopes. For the birdwatchers and golfers I guess.

Best bang for buck

Awwww, I was just about to switch to Nikon from Vortex.
