The Czech brand VALIANT is entering the market with a new series 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 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 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 shooting at longer distances. 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 in 5 intensity 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 unpleasant 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 separated clicks, so you can use them with gloves. The click itself is very pronounced; 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 keep parallax error as low as possible, which shooters will certainly appreciate.
Thanks to innovative design features, it has a 30% larger field of view, improved image sharpness and more accurate colour reproduction. 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 comfortable handling you will also find a large side wheel for parallax adjustment in the box. The sunshade can be mounted for shooting in bright sunlight or on snow.
