[QUOTE="curlywoods, post: 210030, member: 11368"] No doubt about that "Nikon knows glass". As a life long photography nut, Nikon lenses have always offered some of the finest lenses of any system available and why they were and are the choice of many pros. I am not saying that a Nikon scope is in the same league was the S&B, IOR, US Optics, NightForce, Zeiss, etc. but their glass is good as any and better than most, if they want it to be so. They have the expertise to make outstanding optics. If Nikon wanted to flex their power (or any of the large, high quality Asian optics manufacturers), the small companies would be hard pressed to compete. Niche markets allow the smaller guys to carve out areas and offer unique, specific use items to those that can afford and will pay to get. Like anything though, if a large corporation sees a perceived market, they will attack it and try to own it. I just can't see Nikon ever trying to take over the tactical high end market, but who knows. It just does seem to meet their market models from what I have seen from them. [/QUOTE]
