Vortex Introduces the Viper Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot

Vortex is seeking to redefining shotgun optics with the launch of the Viper Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot, a rugged, low-profile sight designed for enhanced durability, seamless mounting, and improved shooting accuracy. Featuring an integrated universal mounting system, the Viper eliminates the need for plates or adapters, making it easier than ever to equip a red dot on a shotgun.

A Game-Changing Mounting System

For years, mounting a red dot on a shotgun required aftermarket plates, adapters, or rib-mounted solutions—often resulting in awkward setups that disrupted a shooter’s natural cheek weld. The Viper Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot changes that with its patent-pending integrated mount, allowing direct installation on dozens of drilled and tapped shotgun platforms straight out of the box.

Built to Withstand the Hunt

Shotgun optics face harsh conditions, whether tracking turkeys through dense brush or braving wet, muddy environments in the duck blind. The Viper’s enclosed aluminum housing shields the optic from debris, moisture, and impact, ensuring a clear point of aim in any condition. Despite its rugged construction, the optic maintains a low profile, reducing the risk of snags in tight cover.

Adaptable Reticle Options

The Viper Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot comes in two configurations:

• 3 MOA Red Dot – A simple, precise aiming point for quick target acquisition.

• Multi-Reticle Option – Featuring seven unique reticle choices, this system allows hunters to tailor their sight picture to different scenarios, from tight turkey patterns to fast-moving waterfowl.

• Viper Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot (3 MOA Dot) – MAP $299.99 | MSRP $429.99

• Viper Enclosed Micro Red Dot (Multi-Reticle) – MAP $349.99 | MSRP $499.99

By combining durability, intuitive mounting, and versatile reticle options, the Vortex Viper delivers a new standard for shotgun red dot optics—ready for any hunt, in any environment.
