Just got a new EXPS 2-0 the other night.  I had been thinking about painting the hood so I took it off to look it over.  When I go the hood off, there is a NV button above the two arrow switches.  When the hood is on the NV button is covered.

Is this just an oversight or does the NV work and Eotech just covers it up for some?

WTF???

See how the button is there but no hole in the hood?

I have that too and I think that our version does not have a working nv option...having said that mine is brighter than my 512's so I can actually see the red dot in the sun

Maybe tomorrow I will but out my toy Modern Warfare 2 NV goggles and take the Eotech and try it out.  Do you just click the NV when the sight is off?

No, click when the sight is on. If NV compatibility is enabled then the reticle should dim enough to be usable w/your NVG's.
While definitely worth checking out, I'd be very surprised if NV is enabled in the EXPS2/XPS2 series.

I imagine leaving the NV button present but disabled cuts mfg costs (after all, how many of us would discover the button by removing the protective shroud?). Thx for checking it out for us.

No sweat.  I'd like to buy a XPS 3 tan hood.  It would help match my LWRC MRE upper.

What happens when you press the NV button?  Does the reticle seem to disappear until you press it again?

It's not active on the XPS 2's.
