The Czech brand VALIANT is entering the market with a new range of highly durable and affordable riflescopes under the name ZEPHYR. These are riflescopes offering the best price-to-performance ratio. They provide 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. This gives it high mechanical durability and prevents fogging. The lenses are coated with a multi-layer green anti-reflective protection, ensuring a clear and bright image even in poor 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 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 as you change magnification. It can be illuminated in green or red with 5 intensity levels. Thanks to the wide intensity adjustment range and illumination of only the centre of the reticle, there is no risk of unpleasant glare.
The riflescope has exposed turrets that are resettable and lockable (Premium Locking System). The adjustment step is 1/4 MOA. To adjust, 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 clearly separate individual clicks, so you can operate 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 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 features, it has 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 riflescope (with correct eye position the image completely loses black edges). For easy handling, the package includes a large side wheel for parallax adjustment. The sunshade can be mounted for shooting in bright sunlight or on snow.
