The Czech brand VALIANT is entering the market with a new range of highly durable and affordable riflescopes under the name ZEPHYR. These riflescopes offer the best price-to-quality ratio. They feature a beautifully clear image and high-quality workmanship.
Valiant Zephyr riflescopes have undergone demanding tests to withstand the toughest conditions. The reinforced 30mm one-piece tube is made 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 guarantees 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 the .375 H&H calibre, i.e. over 6000 J.
This model uses the popular 1/2 Mil-Dot reticle, which is highly versatile. The reticle is located in the second focal plane, so it remains the same size when zooming. It can be illuminated in green or red with 5 levels of intensity. Thanks to the wide intensity adjustment range and the fact that only the centre of the reticle is illuminated, unpleasant glare is avoided.
The riflescope has exposed turrets that are resettable and lockable (Premium Locking System). The adjustment step is 1/4 MOA. For operation, simply pull the turret up; after zeroing, push it back down and you can be sure it will not move. The turrets are sufficiently large and clearly separate individual clicks, so you can use them while wearing gloves. The click itself is 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. The VALIANT brand 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, improved image sharpness and more accurate colour rendition. In addition, the special design eliminates the so-called “tunnel effect” when looking through the riflescope (with the eye in the correct position, the image completely loses black edges). For convenient handling, a large side parallax wheel is also included in the package. The sunshade can be mounted for shooting in bright sunlight or on snow.
