Riflescope Valiant Zephyr II 4-16x50 SF SIR 1/2 MIL-DOT MOA

Riflescope Valiant Zephyr II 4-16x50 SF SIR 1/2 MIL-DOT MOA

In the 2nd generation of Zephyr optics by the Czech company Valiant, not only functional and design changes have been made, but also a complete redesign of the optical system, thanks to which the riflescope gained even better optical properties.

The zoom of the Zephyr II riflescope is adjustable in the range from 4x to 16x. Therefore, it can meet the requirements of shooting even at long distances.

The one-piece construction of the riflescope body made of aerospace aluminum significantly increases durability. Due to the use of glass crosshairs, it is very durable and suitable for larger cuts with higher shot energy. The Zephy II rifle scope is suitable not only for PCP air rifles but also for powerful spring air rifles or firearms with energy up to 6000 J.

The basic tube with a diameter of 30 mm provides plenty of light. In order to keep the image quality unchanged depending on temperature conditions, the tube of the Zephyr II rifle scope is filled with nitrogen. The lenses of the optical system of the riflescope are equipped with multiple anti-reflective coatings to increase the luminosity and sharpness of the image. The lenses are further protected from the outside by removable Flip Open caps to reduce contamination. In case of strong backlight, you can use the supplied sunshade.

The Zephyr 4-16x50  is equipped with a 10x 1/2 MilDot type crosshair, the reduction of the crosshair makes it less distracting when tracking a target, yet ideally sharp and visible when actually aiming at the target.

The crosshair position adjustments on the Valiant Zephyr II line of rifle scopes are open and truly fine-tuned. It's not just the design that has been redesigned, but also the operation itself. The click is stable and audible, both tactilely and aurally. A single click affects the position of the cross by 1/4 MOA at 100 yards. The adjustment chambers have a locking feature so you don't have to worry about spilling during shooting. Fast Lock is very easy to operate. Just pull the chamber up or to the side and you can make adjustments immediately. After adjustment, just push the chimney and the position is fixed. You can also use the zeroing the chimney option, i.e. setting your initial values to 0. This makes it very easy to return to the original values of the stack. 

The left chimney in the center of the Zephyr II riflescope hides additional features. One of them is the manually adjustable parallax. This will help to affect the sharpness of the background and crosshairs depending on the distance you are currently aiming. The parallax range is from 10 yards to infinity. Also included is a large parallax wheel for easier control. In the event of an eye defect, the image can be easily sharpened using the adjustment on the eyepiece from -2 to +2 diopters.

At the top of the left chimney you will find another feature and that is the central backlight of the cross. The red backlight can be adjusted in 11 steps. The power supply of the backlight is here solved through a button CR2032 battery, which is not included in the package. It can be purchased in the additional goods section, under the description of the goods.

Because we have no idea in advance which weapon and mounting rail the rifle scope will be used on, mounting rings are not included. This is because we anticipate that the Zephyr II series will find its use on edged weapons that require steel mounts. The correct mounting rings for the height and type of mounting required can be found in the accessories section.
