Edgun LESHIY 2 (Accuracy Issues)?

I’m still struggling with accuracy past 40 yards. It stacks pellets up close but my 50 yard group is like 1.5” which is infuriating! Also loads of flyers. I’m new to airguns and that is probably a large part of the issue. Any advice is always welcome.

When you load the mag it's the perfect time to check and discard any pellets with deformed skirts. That eliminated the flyers for me.

One thing that I've failed to hear mentioned (besides 2nd and 3rd hand reports of accuracy issues) is whether or not the gun was tuned for the ammo. Out of the box the barrel could need a good cleaning - maybe even a lapping (my .22 LW 250mm and 350mm did, but my .25 and .30 Alpha's did not need anything besides a good cleaning of the protective greases).

What ammo are you using? And what speed? Most stock .25s will be shooting the 25gr .25s around 960-080 fps which is just too fast for them and groupings are scattered. Slow them down to 880 and groups tighten up.

Just like any other airgun you need to tune the gun for the ammo you are using or else it may shoot like poop. I've very good 50 yard groups in the huge Leshiy 2 thread but I'll post it here again if it helps. This is 8 shots in .25 34 gr pellets. 7 within close to 1/2" and one random flier.

CTSSHOOOTER, I am trying to figure out how to use a 250mm .17 with 10-16 grain pellets. Do you have any thoughts about what I should be doing based on the factory tune? Like turning it down a little to shoot them slower? It’s great in close, but accuracy falls apart at ~40 yds.

You may want to post up in the main Leishy 2 thread. This is an old thread and you replied to a 3 year old post. There aren't many people shooting the L2 in .177 so you will have better luck in the main thread. You may even find your answers. It's like 280 pages.

only even shot with a friends 30cal

Kinda cool. Recall thinking the trigger was really badly set. Or must not be adjustable. (At the time I didn’t know the trigger/valve system. Or price of the gun)

I think the carbine market is slowly filling with solid contenders. The Evol mini comes to mind.
Yeah repeater is neat. But I certainly wouldn’t pay extra for it.

Ok thanks. I’m new to the forum and still figuring it out.

I’m thinking the problem is more with the shooters than with the gun. The trigger is not the typical trigger. You can’t pulllllll slowly until it breaks because the hammer less valve system but requires a quick jerk. If you can’t adapt and get it down you will not get the accuracy that the gun is capable of. That is why you see so many different reviews showing good to terrible accuracy when compared to hammer PCP’s with target level triggers with pulls measured in ounces. Yes I would love the Leishiy trigger to be like my Crown but none of my powder burners are either except the ones with set triggers. I have had my Leishiy out hunting and love the lightness and compactness . It is a perfect hunting gun and despite its trigger I still got everything I shot at, maybe not on the first shot but the follow up with out having to cock the action was great. So I see why some people would be disappointed in the Leishiy 2 as it requires a different discipline of shooting and they are bored if they can’t achieve dime size groups at 100 yards.

Hey brother can you explain in detail the correct technique to pull the trigger on a Leshiy2 to get the best accuracy possible?
