The Czech brand Valiant enters the market with a new range of highly durable and affordable riflescopes under the designation Zephyr. These riflescopes offer the best price-to-quality 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 30 mm one-piece tube is made from aircraft-grade duralumin and is filled with nitrogen. 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 features 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 RAQ reticle, which is ideal for hunting purposes. 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 adjustment range of the intensity and the fact that only the centre of the reticle is illuminated, there is no risk of unpleasant glare.
The riflescope has exposed turrets, which 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 sufficiently large and clearly separate individual clicks, so you can use them while wearing gloves. The clicking itself is very pronounced; 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. The Valiant brand 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 the eye in the correct position, the image completely loses black edges). For convenient handling, you will also find a large parallax wheel in the package. The sunshade can be mounted for shooting in bright sunlight or on snow.
