Nikko Stirling Optics

About Nikko Stirling

Nikko Stirling has been a trusted name in hunting and shooting optics for over 65 years, celebrating a legacy that began in 1956.

The company was founded by Malcolm Fuller, an Australian entrepreneur who recognized the need for quality riflescopes at affordable prices for average hunters.

Fuller established the Stirling Scope Company Ltd in Tokyo, Japan, taking advantage of emerging Japanese optics manufacturers and combining his extensive hunting experience with high-quality manufacturing techniques.

Unlike many riflescope manufacturers that are divisions of related optics factories, Nikko Stirling originated from actual hunting experience, making them uniquely qualified to understand hunters' real-world needs.

Today, the company continues to honor Malcolm Fuller's vision by producing premium hunting optics that deliver exceptional performance at competitive prices, backed by an unprecedented lifetime warranty.
