Bushnell: Precision optical instruments

Bushnell has been making quality consumer optical instruments since 1947. Whether it's binoculars, a telescope or spotting scope, Bushnell products deliver excellent value and current technology at an affordable price.

Bushnell is superbly attentive to the needs of its customers. Within its binocular product line, there are subgroups with features to meet the needs of specific users, for example bird watchers and sporting event attendees. For birders, the binoculars have large diameter apertures and good magnification to assure bright, clear, high-contrast images at longer distances. The ability to focus close up is important to bird watchers -- some models will let you get as close as 3 feet, so you won't miss a single feather on that rare avian. For sporting events, a wide field of view and ease of focus are paramount. The preset permanent focus feature means you'll never miss the action because the field glasses weren't in focus. Wide field of views mean you'll be able to follow the action easily up and down the field of play.

Telescopes from Bushnell are feature-packed and value priced. Whether you're looking for a refractor or reflector, you're sure to find it in the product line. Best for viewing near-space objects, refractors have yoke mounts, vertical stabilizer bars, erecting lens and finder scopes. Other features include accurate rack and pinion focusing mechanisms, metal mounting systems (equatorial and yoke), adjustable tripods and premium-quality coated optics. If it's deep space objects like nebulas and galaxies you want to study, a reflector is the type of telescope to choose. Reflector telescopes can gather more light and have features like are clock drive-ready mounts, fine tracking controls, camera adaptability and 1.25" eyepiece format. With a one of these telescopes, you'll soon be exploring the night sky.

A spotting scope is actually a telescope for terrestrial, not celestial viewing. The refractor-type spotting scope has limited uses because of physical limits on the size of the objective that can be made. 100mm is the usual limit, making this kind of scope perfect for birding or hunting.
Catadioptic scopes use a combination of lenses and mirrors that make the effective viewing range of the device greater than that of a refractor. These instruments perform better over longer distances and are well suited to surveillance and telephotography.
