Rifle Scopes Nikon out of rifle scope business

[RRP II]

"Nikon will be exiting the rifle scope business and that once current inventory is gone, it’s gone. TTAG spoke to Nikon’s advertising agency who confirmed the news.

The good news is they will continue to produce their excellent spotting scopes, rangefinders and binoculars."

I have a Nikon fx1000. Do they mention if they intend to uphold their warranty for their scopes?

My understanding is, if they cannot repair scope issues they'll issue a voucher good towards a current sport optic offering
