EDgun Edgun Leshiy 2 Questions

[zerochance]

So I sold some of my ice fishing equipment and I have some extra cash. I'm looking to buy an Edgun Leshiy 2 in .25 with the 350mm barrel. I'll be hunting small game and plinking but more of hunting. I'm probably going to look into buying a used one but I'm not sure what to look for. Any tips? Also I've seen a few Leshiy 2s on the classified forums. Are they releasing the Leshiy 3 soon or what?

Also looking at a brand new Edgun Leshiy 2s. What's the REPR-X, Wolverine, Raven, raptor, and all these names? I don't see anything on their website that describes the meaning behind the name and the description looks pretty much the same.

Does it come with a factory moderator? How loud is the bark with the moderator? How would you compare it with the Huben GK1?

How's the trigger? Is it adjustable? Trigger weight?

How many shots per fill should I expect on the aluminum tube, 350cc cf bottle, and the 460cc bottle?

Lastly, overall PROs and CONs for the Leshiy 2. Why wouldn't you buy it. Why would you buy it? With the money, what other air gun would you buy?

Thats alot of questions. Spend time watching as many videos on Utuber as possible. Suggest give EDgun West a call and visit. I wanted a light compact (not a hefty bench rifle) that was semi - self indexing, grab and go, truck gun, and have it be my one and only PCP. I just had to have it for the obsurd cost. Too many others to pick from but if I had stayed reasonable, the Taipan Veteran (1) Compact did everything I needed it to (what a rock solid little gem). Next want would have been the Krait, but never purchased one. So, I took the plunge into EDgun, made mistakes, learned some lessons, and my venture has stopped with the .22 Leshiy with the 350mm barrel. I'll be turning loose of a .30 Leshiy soon as I definitely can't feed two of these.

Excellent questions! First, the Leshiy 2 is super cool (I own two, one in .22 and one in .25, both purchased early in the Leshiy 2 lifecycle). That said, you're absolutely right - it's hard to find out what all those options / version mean. I *think* the REPR means that it has an adjustable regulator that was a late addition that I do not have. The other versions are mostly changes in stock, forearm, suppressor, and bbl length. My Leshiy's are stock factory guns, with the factory suppressor which is adequate for my needs. My .25 shorty barks a bit and my .22 is quite a bit quieter. Neither disturb the neighbors but both frighten off all the surrounding critters, at least for a few minutes.

Both are compact (assuming you don't attach a 6-250x scope with a 150mm objective) and especially so for transport, where you can fold the stock.

I get a good three mags (18 shots) from the "aluminum tube" (stock) which I find more than adequate. YMMV, depending on tune, etc, but it's enough for a good hunting session.

Cons: the damn Huben owners just won't shut up! ;-), they're expensive, magazines are stupid expensive. (That said, I rarely change mags. I usually just load the installed mag "in situ".) There's no .50 version...

Pro: they're as fun as they come. They seem pretty robust. Mine have been bullet proof, but I see some issues reported here and there online - make of that what you will.

The trigger is - well, it's what it is. I don't mind it, but some do. There's a hiss if you're exercising a slow pull, but it breaks cleanly and it's not heavy. I think it's fine. I have years of competing with various powder burners, with varied triggers, and I really think it's a matter of "can you pull a trigger?" or not. If you can, the L2 isn't going to be a problem for you.

All that said, I haven't tried the Huben (which I consider the direct competition), so it may be that I don't know what I don't know...

I've owned both the Leshy Classic, and the L2. (.22cal). Sold them both. The L2 was ok, but an 8 round mag on a semiauto is just to little. That was always my main dislike.
I now own both Huben semi's. GK1 & K1, also in .22cal. 19 shots on board for both models. These guns are much better SA's imo. The cycling of the mag has been flawless on both. And accuracy is up there with all my other high end PCP's. Not so much with my L2.
YMMV.
Have fun!

1st ----- NEVER SELL ICE FISHING GEAR!!!

2nd ---- The REPER regulator is the cross cylinder style regulator. You can see them with the rounded plug with the four adjustable holes for the tool. The Wolverine and such are the different mods added to the rifle. Longer barrel, longer shroud, longer hand guard and things like that. The guns shoot great but know that the trigger isn't a match trigger by any stretch of the word. More of a hunting style trigger and likes to be slapped more than easily pulled back.

If you are around someone that has one, just ask to shoot it. I know @ndwind and I shoot a bit up in our area, and he loves his 30 cal Leishy 2.

Also looking at a brand new Edgun Leshiy 2s. What's the REPR-X, Wolverine, Raven, raptor, and all these names? I don't see anything on their website that describes the meaning behind the name and the description looks pretty much the same.

REPR or EAR = old external regulator (works fine on my gun)
Raptor = new version of the regulator
Wolverine and Raven, Valkyrie = variations on the look of the gun

I hope this helped. I have a .22 REPR model in 350. The bark is not loud. It is for the shooter as the action is near your face but make just a few steps away and it's quiet even with the stock moderator. If you think you need something more you can either gor with some named models or use your own moderator.

I love my gun. It's not the most accurate for bench shooting due to the AR like trigger which has a hard and determined pull but it was not meant for that (although I do use it for that). This gun is one of my biggest air and pellet hogs apart from my FX rifle.

Thanks for your answer everyone. So there's no "tuning" for the Leshiy 2? Only adjusting the reg pressure for the L2? I watched a video on youtube... changing pellet size and adjusting fps must be a pain... lol

REPR/EAR is the 1st generation EDgun Externally Adjustable Regulator
Raptor is the Huma-Air upgrade to the 1st Gen EDgun REPR Externally Adjustable Regulator
APEX/REPR-X is the 2nd generation EDgun Externally Adjustable Regulator

Reasons to buy....super compact, accurate and quick to shoot and reload. I have 2 of them in .30cal with one set up stock 250mm barrel and the other with the longer 350mm barrel. I don't have experience with other pcp's so I can't give comparisons, but these can do probably anything you want them to do. Factory moderator is very quiet. I get approx 3 mags per air fill before it drops off and the trigger is fine out of the box....not match rifle quality, but these aren't built for that.

Is that the factory aluminum cylinders or the carbon bottle on that shot count. What weight pellet and speed do you get out of the 2 different lengths

 

[ChickenDumpling]

So, did you get one?

So this is very useful. Thank you! Is there any information of what got better with the latest REPR-X? I am looking at a listing here with another member in this thread, and I was wondering if there is way to tell which L2 regulator he has got for sale. It is a 2024 L2.
