Riflescope Valiant Zephyr 4-16x50 SF SIR FBR

The Czech brand VALIANT is entering the market with a new range of highly durable and affordable rifle scopes under the name ZEPHYR. These rifle scopes offer the best price-to-performance ratio. They provide a beautifully clear image and high-quality workmanship.

Valiant Zephyr rifle scopes have undergone demanding tests to withstand the toughest conditions. The reinforced 30mm one-piece tube is made from aircraft-grade aluminium alloy 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 coating, which guarantees a clear and bright image even in low light conditions. The eyepiece of the scope 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 FBR reticle, which is suitable for long-range shooting. The reticle is located in the second focal plane, so it remains the same size when magnification is changed. It can be illuminated in green or red with 5 brightness levels. Thanks to the wide intensity adjustment range and the fact that only the centre of the reticle is illuminated, there is no risk of disturbing glare.

The scope has exposed turrets, which 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 large enough and have clearly defined clicks, so you can operate them while wearing gloves. The clicks themselves are very positive; 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 scope. The VALIANT brand has worked to minimise parallax error, which shooters will certainly appreciate.

Thanks to innovative design elements, it offers a 30% larger field of view, improved image sharpness, and more accurate colour rendition. The special design also eliminates the so‑called “tunnel effect” when looking through the scope (with correct eye position, the image completely loses black edges). For convenient handling, the package includes a large side wheel for parallax. A sunshade can be mounted for shooting in bright sunlight or on snow.
