Edgun Leshiy 2

[O_W]

Anyone have experince with these? I am neck deep in this rabbit hole now.

Yup... great guns and great fun. Just be ready to spend a ton on ammo, as you will blast through it quickly.

fun for an AR trainer, not ideal for hunting.

if you are going to deal with an airgun while out hunting, i would also want the benefits of being whisper quiet. the L2's semi automatic mechanism lets out a blast of air from the breech that is very loud for an airgun.

its a fun toy, but i think semi-auto airguns are kind of a novelty still. i still own my L2, its actually my last PCP, as i've shifted towards rimfire. so its a ton of fun.

 

[sticman77]

accuracy wise they are pretty ok, similar to a $700-1500 PCP IMO. you are paying for the fun factor

I liked mine, but I ended up getting rid of it. Just wasn’t my thing. +1 on ammo stock up and have lots of air too.

 

[sticman77]

I got rid of mine now and bought a cheap sig virtus for ar training.

If you’re looking for a semi auto pcp hunter I would recommend the Huben K1.

I have been looking for an L2. Have an Anschutz 8002 S2 that is set up for field target shooting. Just nothing around here and need/want something for back road hunting

 

[sticman77]

Are you on airgunnation? Most active classifieds for airgun sites. They pop up every couple months it is where I sold mine

 

[woogie_man]

Yup...same name over there as well.

Never mind, looks like you saw it.

They make decent power and the form factor is nice, but it's not the most accurate platform out there. I was seeing lots of spiraling (precession specifically) with the two that I've shot. Transition from mag to chamber isn't too ideal IMO. Recorded scope can footage of the issue (turn it up to 1080p to see the projectiles in flight better)



The original Leshiy is a different story (and still my favorite PCP). You can't really break them and they are extremely versatile (.177 - .357). Huma regulator is recommended. Usually keep mine setup in .22 to hunt starlings in the spring/summer with JSB Hades at 965FPS and in .25 for night critters with the 350mm barrel shooting 34gn JSBs at 950.

I should have never sold mine. Thats why I am trying to get one back into my hands. The classic is just so simple and they are about as bullet proof as you can get.

I don’t have any experience with those air guns but this video is informative.

I have one in .177, literally THE best night rabbit gun I've ever used outside of a .22 sbr (I run thermal on mine). Quiet, using slugs, lethal to 60yds easily, and the follow up shots are incredible. I love not worrying about where the slugs go after the shot too.

I have a leshiy 2 .30 enroute to go with my leshiy classic. Also have a Matador R5M to round out the edgun collection
