Title: battery life for a truglo gobble stopper

Hello I was wondering about how long will a battery last in a tru glo gobble stopper red dot scope and I was wondering how everyone likes these scopes, thanks

Love it!!  I have gotten 2 seasons out of the battery but I will change it this year just for piece of mind.  I also carry a spare in my vest....just in case.

I use a tru glo but not the gobbler stopper, used last season and changed battery last week but only because i left the dang thing on and drained the battery  >:(

My 5 year old tru glo has the original battery, but just to be safe, I'll put in a new one this week :toothy12:!

I am going on 5 years also. I only have two complaints about the scope and neither has to do with performance. They didn't honor a rebate that was valid and the lens covers fall off. I lost one before I taped the other on. Other than that I really like it and would highly recommend it!

The covers do fall off....mine from 3 1/2" turkey load recoil.  I found a strong adhesive double sided tape and put on the red dot scope, then installed covers....it has stayed on ever since.

The spare battery compartment is on the very top of the knob to adjust brightness , right on top of the battery that powers the sight.
