What's so different about Nikon? On this site I've seen people call to boycott Cooper Firearms based on a stupid comment made by the company's namesake. I don't recall seeing much of a dissenting opinion on that one. What's the difference?
I've been thinking about a new scope for my .22-250 and was considering trying out one of Nikon's Coyote scopes. Now I'm not considering that any more. If the company pulled it's sponsorship of an event due to pressure from the environmentalists why would I reward that with emails of praise and by spending money with them? I'm not going to send them a nice message and tell them it's o.k. because it's not. They should have a spine and stand up for their customers and their beliefs. Is Nikon the first company to get this pressure? I doubt it. They are only noteworthy in giving in to the environmentalist crew.
After pulling sponsorships the next step is to stop making products for us. Personally I don't care if they do stop. There are plenty of other companies out there that won't buckle in to the pressure and will continue to make outstanding products for sportsman.
I know Nikon is one of the sponsors of this site, but if they continue to pull sponsorships from contests how long do you think it will be before they pull this sites sponsorship? Don't we have a contest every year?
