That is what I have read as well.  Supposedly the NV button is there on the EXPS2 Opmod, it's just hidden behind the case and non-functional.





Optics Planet states the waterproofing is to 33 ft. and not the 10 ft. of the standard EXPS2 as well.



I have the Opmod, but have never removed the outer case.

i emailed them and they said the depth was a mistake––that it was an EXPS 2-0.  didn't correct it though.

do yall think it makes it look cheap with it wrote on the side?

I wouldn't call it cheap.....Although I don't like the lettering either.  You can darken it a bit with some aluminhyde but it will wear a spot into the hood.

I guess I should have said gemmicky, like the zombie version. I think in just gonna order the exps2. I wish I could try out the one with and without the riser.

Yeah, the OPMOD writing was a bit much, but for awhile there was no EXPS 2-0, so it was the only version I think.  Either that or it was a lot cheaper––there was some reason I was going to buy it before I got my 2nd Eotech (for my AR pistol).  Maybe it was that I thought it was in a 3-0 body due to the stats (which turned out to be wrong).

Which one would you guys suggest, the one that absolute cho witness or the 1/3.  I can't seem to find any pics with the two view as the shooter.
I plan on getting a magnifier too, so I want them to both line up with each other.

1/3rd is more comfortable for me regardless of fixed or flip BUIS.

The perpetual Optics Planet back order makes it special.
