Bushnell has been making quality optics for over 50 years in every type of sport optic you can imagine; from
binoculars and
spotting scopes to
rangefinders, from
rifle scopes to the latest night vision technology. It was founded in 1948 by
David Bushnell, during his time in Allied occupied Japan . Bausch & Lomb equipment was designed by
Bushnell under license from Bausch & Lomb, and competed with the best. In early 2004, the license agreement which started in the early 1970s, expired and Bausch & Lomb chose not to license their name for optics any longer.
Bushnell has converted most of the Bausch & Lomb products over to their own logo, with the remainder of the relabeled products, including the new
Elite binoculars.
Bushnell's products have consistently won design and performance awards from prestigious organizations. Their
binoculars and
spotting scopes enhance the enjoyment of every outdoor pursuit from spectator sports, nature study, hunting, fishing and birding to stargazing. Indoors,
binoculars bring the audience closer to the action in fast-moving sports or the fine arts at theaters and concerts.
Bushnell constantly explores emerging technologies to market
sports optics that combine leading edge design with performance innovation. It is this dedication that has made
Bushnell the most recognized and reputable sports optics brand in the world.
