You got that right. You can buy a a nice CZ 22lr, or Tikka 22lr etc for around 500 bucks. Now days a 500 dollar airgun is considered a budget cheap gun!

9mm Leshiy 2 Made in the USA?!
- Thread starter Airgun Nation
- Start date
i do think air guns are pricey but as a someone who has been involed in manufacturing products ( not air guns ) the more you make the more affordable it is.
i would assume the cost of upper end air guns has more to do with the numbers them you might think.
theres a LOT more ,22lr the air rifles being sold.
if your market dictates you will sale a 1000 units of something you maynot have the capital or desire to make a million of them? and the cost difference between these kind of number is huge
thats why a cheap .22lr ( aside from cost corner cutting ) is freakin cheap.

IMO high quality air guns cost more than many PB because they are more expensive and complicated to produce than PB. More parts that need machining and labor to assemble. Not much to many PB except high quality barrel, receiver, bolt and trigger with decent stock.

Years ago I bought a LES BAER PREMIER II but that's a lot cheaper than an Atlas. As accurate as the Les Baer is all my airguns are more accurate.

Nice!
As much as I'd love to run drills in my backyard w/PBs . . . not allowed. What I can do is run drills with my airguns though, and you're right, they're all more accurate than I am. Accuracy that that big a deal to me though, just ringing the A zone's as fast as possible

Another scheme of the Russian “Kalashnikov”. How to sell gun barrels to 44 countries under sanctions
Russian state arms concern finds ways to circumvent sanctions. One of them is to use intermediaries on the arms market. We will explain how it works using the example of the air rifles manufacturer EDGun.
www.pravda.com.ua How Russian "Kalashnikov" sells weapons to US bypassing sanctions
After the occupation of Crimea and part of Donbas in 2014, world leaders imposed sanctions on some Russian citizens and companies in the military-industrial sector and closely related enterprises. Sanctions from the US, EU, Canada some other countries were also imposed on the well-known Russian...

Thank you, very interesting indeed. I don’t think I can comment much due to site rules but I don’t like that they’re painting Edgun as an “arms business”, another quote, “For gun lovers, the company promises the highest quality standards in developing accurate, reliable and durable weapons.” Again, “It is possible to buy weapons and arms accessories here” here as well, “Russian weapons are sent from Spain throughout Europe.”Interesting article

Emailed back and forth with Brian a bit. He said none of this is a secret so I’ll share here, however assume any of this is subject to change. This was casual back and forth in email. NOT marketing material.
It’s called theLeshiy magnum Leshiy 9
If I understood him correctly it seems to be backwards compatible with previous barrels but he made it clear that you can NOT upgrade an existing L2 into Magnum form due to a complete rework of the valve and plenum.
Price will probably be around 2800-3200 depending on BBL length
specs
Leshiy magnum hope to hit 150 FLBS
2 titanium magazines
power adjusting too
Behemoth silencer QD
handguard
350CC bottle
2 mag holders
micarta grip with tools
black out kit
Muzzle brake QD
(I may have missed something)

What’s interesting is it seemed like someone was already getting ~120 fpe with a huma raptor reg in .25. I’m guessing he’s getting the 150 on a shorter barrel. I still don’t have a L2 so I think I’ll get one of these and report back. Ugghh this is by far the most expensiveaddiction hobby I’ve had

My Leshiy's don't really get much shooting time due it it being the same size as my other Hubens are.
Unless that magnum version was able to push the barrel back about 6-8"'s to make it a true bullpup I'm not interested. I'll keep shooting my Rattler at twice the FPE

As a machinist, I was looking into making a barrel and opening up some mags. I’m literally looking at a used Leshiy 2 right now online. Knowing that this might be working its way down the line now I will definitely wait. I pray it doesn’t take too long to make it to market. I wish I could get the opportunity to talk them into manufacturing here in the steel city.Emailed back and forth with Brian a bit.

Brian is super responsive. If you have a serious background as a machinist I’d absolutely reach out. The worst that happens is he says he’s already set but still has you in his digital Rolodex… just a thought.
Edit- once you reach your 10 posts and 10 days send me a DM if you don’t see mine.
