Edgun leshiy classic anyone still shooting?

[Dairyboy]

I had a .22 which was really nice. I always wanted a .30 barrel to use polymags in at like 500fps for a close range popper but never did. Even at 20fpe in .22 I felt it was a hair jumpy. Couldn't imagine those who went crazy on power with them.

Ordered..


Thanks for helping me spend my money again, Mike....

Brother if it wasn’t worth it I’d say don’t waste your money . Did you get the bigger one ? The small one I find a little small for my sausage fingers

Went with the larger one. Always can carry more ammo!

A year or two ago I had another Leshiy that was a 25. The previous owner had it shooting really fast, and it was to jumpy for me and I didn't like it. So instead of defining the rifle, I sold it. Now knowing how to tune the rifle I have it shooting the 22 caliber 18.1 grain pellets at 13 ftlb. And the rifle is extremely tame. I just need to tune the trigger a bit to make the pull not so long.

Perfect !! Current setup is a 350mm .25 at 35 fpe. Quiet and accurate

You need to do a plunger screw mod. Makes the triggers much better. I believe there are threads about them.

I’ve had mine for seven years and for a while I played around with it. Even built a .177 slug barrel for it. There are two ways to tune a Leshiy. One, you can tune it to shoot like a PCP. Or you can tune it to shoot like a springer. That threshold is very easy to feel when you cross that line turning the hammer spring. I keep my .22 350mm shooting 18’s just over 800fps and the 250mm shooting 18’s around 750fps. They jump sideways when you’re tuned too hot. Not worth it.

For two + years I am trying to buy one in .22 here in Canada, but since initial release a decade ago its got banned because of a front "shroud tube".
Stupid people misused ....
I have the L2 and luv it very much and with the Classic would be a happy family.

Yes my favorite thing in the world . Ground squirrels with Edguns

 

[TerryE1]

I've had mine up to 27 ft lbs, and I like it better at a milder 22. The lighter hammer spring setting does help with accuracy.

Wow this has been a interesting topic and plenty of great information!!

Now I’ll list mine for $7000. Kidding lol . I sold my L2 9mm I regret it . Can’t afford another

 

[addison]

I wasn't the biggest fan of the L2 the one I tried had cycling issues and was not pleasant for the price tag

Yeah the classic is the best bang for your buck IMO

I only have the 250 barrels for mine, as I have been unable to find any of the 350 barrels.

I am going to play with my Corbin and see if I can't get a light weight slug to work with the small gun.

Even in .177 the Leshiy was an angry little beast with tiny slugs. Too hard to tell if I was succeeding because the gun was so hard to shoot. Just shoot pellets would be my suggestion. And yes, I did experiment in .22 also. Angry angry little gun.
