About Clearwater optics consulting

Clearwater Optics Consulting was founded in Orofino, Idaho, on the belief that great optics are built through experience, attention to detail, and an understanding of real-world use. Led by founder Levi Bradley, Clearwater optics  provides expert consulting services backed by more than 25 years in the optical industry.

As a lifelong hunter, Levi understands firsthand the importance of dependable, high-quality optics in demanding field conditions. That real-world perspective—combined with decades of professional experience—drives every recommendation and solution offered by Clearwater Optics Consulting.

Levi spent over two decades with one of the largest riflescope manufacturers in the industry, where his career focused on the design, assembly, testing, evaluation, and refinement of optical systems. His work supported products used by hunters, long-range shooters, law enforcement, and military professionals, all of whom demand  repeatable accuracy, durability, and reliability.

From early-stage design reviews to production support and quality assurance, Levi’s experience spans the full lifecycle of optical products. He understands not only how optics should perform on paper, but how they must perform in the field—under recoil, harsh weather, and real operational stress.

Clearwater Optics Consulting exists to help companies and organizations build better optical products. Services are grounded in practical manufacturing knowledge, hands-on testing, and a deep understanding of what end users expect from precision optics.

Clearwater supports clients with:

• Optical system evaluation and design review
• Manufacturing and assembly consulting
• Quality control and testing processes
• Performance validation and failure analysis
• Supplier and production support
• ITAR-aware consulting for regulated programs

Every engagement is approached with professionalism, discretion, and a focus on delivering clear, actionable guidance.

Clearwater Optics Consulting is intentionally small and focused, allowing for direct communication, trusted relationships, and tailored solutions. Whether supporting a new product launch or improving an existing platform, Clearwater brings the same commitment to precision, reliability, and honesty that has defined Levi’s career.

Based in Idaho and inspired by the environments where optics are truly tested, Clearwater Optics Consulting helps ensure that optical systems perform when it matters most
