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-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 30mm one-piece tube is made of aircraft-grade duralumin and is nitrogen filled. This gives it high mechanical resistance and prevents fogging. The lenses feature a multi-layer green anti-reflection coating, ensuring 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 the .375 H&H calibre, i.e. over 6000 J.
This model uses the FBR reticle, which is suitable for long-range shooting. Thanks to the extended reticle, you have more holdover options and don’t need to adjust the turrets as much. FBR is also suitable for today’s very popular HFT competition shooting discipline. 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 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 disturbing 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 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 adjustment 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 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 riflescope (with correct eye position, the image completely loses the black edges). For convenient handling, a large side wheel for parallax adjustment is included in the package. The sunshade can be mounted for shooting in bright sunlight or on snow.
