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-performance 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 from aircraft-grade duralumin and is nitrogen-filled. Thanks to this, it offers 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 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 20x 1/2 Mil-Dot reticle, which is suitable for long-range shooting. 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 illumination of only the centre of the reticle, there is no risk of annoying glare.
The riflescope has exposed turrets that are resettable and lockable (Premium Locking System). The adjustment step is 1/4 MOA. To operate, 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 separated clicks, 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 hear it clearly. On this model, the parallax adjustment is located on the side of the riflescope. VALIANT has worked to minimise parallax error, which shooters will certainly appreciate.
Thanks to innovative design elements, it offers a 30% larger field of view, increased image sharpness and more accurate colour rendition. The special design also eliminates the so-called “tunnel effect” when looking through the riflescope (with the eye in the correct position, the image completely loses the black edges). For comfortable handling, the package also includes a large parallax wheel. The sunshade can be mounted for shooting in bright sunlight or on snow.
