Viper Lede 2

Purpose-built for turkey hunting and wingshooting, the Vortex Viper Shotgun Enclosed Micro Red Dot line now adds a green reticle option for those who prefer it in certain lighting and shooting conditions. It's an enclosed, ultra-low-profile optic that mounts directly to drilled-and-tapped receivers. No adapter plates or rails required. The low sight height keeps the cheek tight to the stock for fast, instinctive shots on moving birds and precise aiming on longer-range targets.

Viper Green Dot

Features:

  • Universal mounting system for drilled-and-tapped shotgun receivers. Compatible with 46+ shotgun platforms.
  • Durable 6061 aluminum housing, fully enclosed, blocks out weather, mud, snow, and debris.
  • Green multi-reticle option quickly adapts to diverse shooting situations. Seven options for turkeys, ducks, doves and more.

Viper Green Dot 2

Like the standard red dot model, the Viper® Shotgun Enclosed Micro Green Dot is offered in two configurations: 3 MOA Green Dot (MAP: $299.99 / MSRP: $429.99) and Multi-Reticle Green (MAP: $349.99 / MSRP: $499.99).
