Czech brand Valiant is entering the market with a new series of highly durable and affordable riflescopes under the name Zephyr. These riflescopes offer the best price‑to‑performance ratio. They deliver a beautifully clear image and high-quality workmanship.
Valiant Zephyr riflescopes have undergone demanding tests to withstand the toughest conditions. The reinforced 30mm tube is made from a single piece of aircraft-grade duralumin and is nitrogen-filled. Thanks to this, it has high mechanical resistance and does not fog up. The lenses are coated with a multi-layer green anti-reflective protection, which ensures a clear and bright image even in low-light conditions. The eyepiece of the riflescope offers optical correction of -2/+2 dioptres. The etched glass reticle is extremely resistant to recoil corresponding to calibre .375 H&H, i.e. over 6000 J.
This model uses a 10x 1/2 Mil-Dot reticle, which is highly versatile. The reticle is in the second focal plane, so it remains the same size when zooming. It can be illuminated in green or red in 5 intensity levels. Thanks to the wide range of intensity adjustment and illumination of the reticle centre only, unpleasant glare is eliminated.
The riflescope features exposed turrets that are resettable and lockable (Premium Locking System). The click value is 1/4 MOA. For adjustment, simply pull the turret up; after zeroing, push it back down and you can be sure it will not move. The turrets are large enough and the individual clicks are precisely defined, so you can use them while wearing gloves. The clicks themselves are very distinct – you can not only feel each click with your fingers, but also clearly hear it. On this model, the parallax adjustment is located on the side of the riflescope. Valiant has worked to minimise parallax error as much as possible, which shooters will certainly appreciate.
Thanks to innovative design elements, it has a 30% larger field of view, increased image sharpness and better colour fidelity. In addition, the special design eliminates the so‑called “tunnel effect” when looking through the riflescope (with correct eye position, the image completely loses the black edges). For comfortable handling, a large sidewheel for parallax adjustment is included in the package. A sunshade can be mounted for shooting in bright sunlight or on snow.
