Bushnell Optics History
Founded in 1948 by David P. Bushnell as a mail order company for Japanese made binoculars. Bushnell made affordable precision binoculars available to the American middle classes for the first time ever. Due to his strategy of importing directly from manufacturers in Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan to his own specific patented specifications.
David Bushnell expanded his business to include spotting scopes and rifle scopes, then in 1971, he sold his company to Bausch & Lomb. The company renamed themselves as Bushnell Performance Optics and then in 2001 they acquired the Bolle and Serengeti Eyewear brands along with the Moonlight range of night-vision optics.
In 2002 Bushnell bought the Tasco company, which specialised in sporting optics. Telescopes, spotting scopes, microscopes, binoculars, rifle scopes, telescopic sights and other rifle and shooting accessories. After a number of acquisitions, Alliant Techsystems merged with Optical Sciences in 2015 to form Orbital ATK which then spun Bushnell and other subsidiary companies to Vista Outdoor.
