Why are all these people who went "all in" on Leshiy 2 packages selling them now?

Edgun LESHIY 2 (Accuracy Issues)?

Wow I haven’t seen any in classified or I would of been tempted. From the design I think how you load the ammo and Tolerance of ammo and mag could make a difference for accuracy because the pellet is shot exactly where it sit after loading. From the videos the L2 seems quite accurate so I’m curious on if there are issues and why those 6 people sold so quickly.
Maybe they sold because their expectation is different than reality? I found it interesting that some people went “all in” and added long barrel, tactical this and that, to me it’s not even a L2 anymore. If I were to get one the 250mm version would be the only version. Granted it’s hard to justify (to me) 2000 bucks for a 50 yard and under gun unless you have the right use case for it like work on a farm and need a small carry multi shot semi auto gun.

"ALL" these people? I've seen two listed for sale.
And even if it was 6 total, that's not many. Also keep in mind that it's a very niche rifle and some people maybe can't justify at $2k+ rifle that fills a very small, specific niche.
Kind of unfair to blindly guess that any of them were sold due to accuracy issues without any basis whatsoever to make that claim.
Edit: also keep in mind that the two I've seen listed for sale are from well known members who are both well known for going all-in for any rifle they purchase . . . playing with them for a short period of time and moving on to the next gun and going all-in on that next gun. And rinse and repeat. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

I was told by a Leshiy 2 owner that they have accuracy issues. Apparently the way the pellet loads into the barrel is not good. I was told the regulators also have problems.
I do realize a few Leshiy 2's for sale is to be expected, especially at that price.
I was just wondering if anyone would admit thier L2 was less than perfect. ....anyone?
I would love to review one,
Knock $1000 off the price and I'll buy one.

I cruise all the airgun classified sites every day, many times per day and eBay...I have for years. That's why I see everything that pops up for sale.
Airguns.net (scam central), AGW and AGN.
The first few L2's that were for sale sold in matter of minutes/hours...so they came and went pretty fast.

I was one of the first to receive a Leshiy 2 and also one of the guys that was very objective in pointing out the pros and cons of the rifle. I was pretty vocal about the initial shortcomings if you want to take the time to dig through the two long Leshiy 2 threads floating around.
Now that I've had it for a couple of months and things have settled a bit - here's my suggestion to would be Leshiy 2 buyers: don't buy it if you are expecting a do-it-all rifle that will shoot like your favorite PCP bullpup or rifle at 100 yards and beyond. You have to understand what you're getting - which is a very nice, ultra compact rifle that provides rapid fire capabilities in a backpack capable form factor. The pellets are shot directly from the magazine without each one being loaded and seated like most other magazine feed rifle so you can't expect the same type of accuracy and consistency out past 50 yards as your favorite Impact or Taipan or Daystate or even other Edgun models. Also, if you're expecting a powerful PCP with a 250mm or 350mm barrel to be anywhere near as quiet as your 500mm, 600mm or 700mm barrel setups, you'll likely be disappointed with the L2 as well. It's going to be louder given how much power is coming out of those short barrels, there's really no way around it.
However, if you want a light, portable platform that's able to consistently take out small game out to 50-75yds or so, it's hard to beat the Leshiy 2 for that purpose. Just know what you're getting and be realistic about your expectations, otherwise, you're setting yourself up for some frustration.
Price-wise, I also think it's a bit overprice and should be somewhere in the $1,600-$2,000 price range for the basic configuration. At $2,049-$2249 plus many hundreds more with some other accessories, it's likely going to be cost prohibitive to many would-be owners. But good luck with getting $1,000 knocked off the price - that's not going to happen with any of Ed's guns.

I could also easily get quarter sized groups at 20yds if I'm careless because the Leshiy 2's rapid fire capabilities can make you kinda stupid with the way you want to too quickly pull the trigger - see my thread here for some sample groups when rushed:
https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/quick-rushed-leshiy-2-vs-impact-shoot-out-lol/?referrer=1
And the trigger itself takes some getting used to because it's not like most other PCP triggers. Once I got adjusted to the trigger and how to pull it consistently, my groups improved dramatically because I wasn't jerking the rifle.

I think some kind fellow should send Nate a Leshiy 2 for him to review, His entertaining reviews could only add to the already huge desirability of the gun.
I am sure he would send it back
.
I will give you a grand for it Nate

This video from edgun west shows them using the 250mm version and 50gr pellets with pretty good results. If that thing shot like that out the box, I would have zero complaints.

I’m still waiting on mine and have heard some more people have been getting theirs recently, so could be more reviews coming out soon.
And not to hijack this thread, but can someone who has gotten their gun from Brian let me know how the ordering process works with edgun west? I had put down 1000 as a down payment, so do I just wait for a follow up email from edgun to pay the remainder? Or how does it work to complete the transaction for edgun to ship the guns once ready?

Bobby, when your rifle is ready for shipping, you'll receive an email from Edgunwest to pay the remaining balance. After it's paid, you'll get a tracking # within a couple of days once Brian's able to get around to assembling and packing it. Pretty straightforward, you just have to wait through the queue...

Thank you yen! And appreciate your honest feedback on the L2. For people chasing accuracy and frequenting competitions, I too don’t think the L2 was designed for that specific purpose, but I assume most who ordered one probably already knew that heading in.
I think it would be useful to see more information on some of these issues the OP mentioned brought into further light though, as I think it’s beneficial for people and edgun to learn from, especially since this gun is a new launch.

Let's be fair - Nate mentioned that he had "a" (meaning ONE) Leshiy owner tell him of accuracy issues. You can find one person that will say anything about anything so too small a sample size to make anything out of it.
He mentioned a potential reg issue . . . if I leave my Leshiy 2 unfired for a short period of time, the first shot after not being shot for awhile is hotter (about 30fps higher) than normal so POI ends up higher than normal. Is that an issue? I guess technically it is but I just remind myself to hold under on the first shot.
At the same time, does anyone remember the original shipment of Impacts years ago and what issues those came with off the assembly line (unusable fill port opening, out of spec scope rail, crappy/inaccurate gauges, etc.)? And what other rifle has had more reg creep issues off the shelf than the Impact? Heck, years later, they STILL have reg creep even after many different revisions. Despite that, there have been thousands of Impacts sold and they're one of the most popular rifles around (after swearing them off several years ago, I currently have two of them in the safe and absolutely love them again).

They aren't Steyr sSemiauto guns.
The Leshiy2 isn't a target grade Semiauto.
They are meant for tin can shooting fun fun fun.
I contacted 2 sellers who had immediately posted theirs for sale after shooting theirs and they told me I wouldn't be too happy with their accuracy (exactly why they wanted them gone immediately) and had been urged not to buy one let alone half dozen.
I had my doubts about their tin can shooting fun fun fun accuracy to price ratio that's why I didn't preorder any.
If they at least shot as accurately like Steyrs I would have ordered a couple alreeady at the asking price no problem.

Hello Yenniedn, as you allude to, the issues with the Impact have been talked about and studied, this also needs to happen with Eds guns, otherwise any quirks would not be ironed out.
what you type about the creep is the sort of honesty needed.
OP comments like Nates brings these issues to the fore.
The first shot after a short time of "about 30fps higher" is not what I have seen on the shot strings posted here on AGN, ie , I have seen many shot strings posted that do not show a first shot 30fps high. are some not telling, or are their guns different.
maybe I miss something?
thanks and good luck.

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.

Real happy with mine so far, only had a couple days of trigger time. But I was getting one hole groups on the bench at 50 yards and was consistently hitting 4" gongs at a 100yds standing and unsupported. The overall balance is perfect for me, it definitely makes up for the sloppy trigger..
