Comp M thru M4 I understand battery life has increased, what is the consensus on leaving it on all the time? Certain models or all?

All.

The Comp M has a listed battery life of 100-1,000 hours. If I left mine turned on it was usually dead when I went to shoot it.

With the M68CCO (CompM, CompM2, CompM4, CompM4S) my experience has always been that the whole "leave it on forever" plan is flawed and that battery life is never quite exactly what's advertised and Murphy always takes over, and the dot's never really there when you need it to be if you decide to "trust in fate" that it'll be there.

Even on a civilian gun, I'd recommend that your "SOP" involves giving the knob a crank to make sure you have a dot.

I left my ML3 on for 3 years at the setting it was rated at with no issues. Now I have 2 M4's and will leave them on for 5 years between changing batteries. 80,000 hours is a long time.

My H1 went 3 years always on. Changing batteries annually would have been overkill.

I have had a CompM-XD for years. I always turn it off when not in use. It has held up fine.
