Other Have to pick one of these: Veteran , Lelya , Leshiy Classic

[ChickenDumpling]

Those are the choices and, I like all three. However, I have a leaning towards one, but want to see how the community aligns or not with my choice. I would really like to briefly know why one was picked over the others. My first poll and 7 days seems plenty long. Thanks for casting a vote and or a comment. PM's welcomed too.

This is a hard list but the Classic does it all

EDGUN leshiy classic , IT is a very simple gun , you can change barrels and caliber in seconds light weight . shoot anything from .177 to ,30 , very accurate .

Honestly they are all really solid choices. I went leshiy just because it’s easy to swap cal and light.

I have all three, won’t sell any of them. Two of them I’ve had for 6 or 7 years but I will say this. The two bullpups are easily replaceable with another bullpup. A Cricket, Vulcan or Krait could be a good enough replacement for the Lelya and Vet. But there is nothing out there that can replace a Leshiy classic.

Classics are so well engineered for simplicity.

 

[MikeVV]

I own your top two picks.
Simple pick, the Lelya.
The Lelya (.22), was my first PCP gun. I've had no problems in the 4+ years that I've owned it. And yeah, it STILL...holds air.

I have no interest in the Leshiy.

Everyone has valid points and its a give and take deal. For now, I do still own all three. I appreciate the votes and comments. My pick is the Taipan Veteran Compact - easy and smooth to operate, quick follow up shots, single tray or mag, quiet in many ways other than just the moderator, and simple construction. Vet just checks more of the boxes for my use. I don't know what they do with those CZ barrels, but that might be some of the magic. Have a good weekend and enjoy those 3 airguns if they are in your hands!

Have a Vet Standard but love the looks of the Lelya.

Agree! +1

 

[hotspark]

I have a vet 2 long. Never even saw one of the other ones in person so the vet gets my vote

 

[ctshooter]

I wanted to vote for the Taipan Vet Compact, but the Leshiy Classic is such a great gun with a lot of flexibility.

 

[JaceSpace1369]

I looooove the versatility of the LC, as much as I have enjoyed shooting a taipan vet compact .177 idk if I would pick it over the leshiy. But I have always wanted a lelya so I will vote for the lelya . On top of that the lelya is shorter than a LC 350mm, and a bullpup, which I love.

 

[ChickenDumpling]

I'm still unsure I made the right choice and harbor regrets. Officially, as of today, I'm down to 1 pcp. The Leshiy Classic. I still want to try the Leshiy L2, but for the most part I'm done trying and buying pcps. I will miss the Taipan Vet 1, the first pcp. Yeah, couple of tears ... weird indeed. Thanks to everyone who has put up with me on the AN forum, including the moderators.

 

[PasadenaMike]

The classic is indeed the one I’d keep as an only gun it’s just that good

 

[woogie_man]

Oh you are not done with this "sickness" that easily good sir! After a little bit you will be back....... we are HORRIBLE ENABLERS here, and we wont let you go back!

lol

I am sitting in the same spot... my son is needing braces in a week or two. And just the price of those are going to kill the bank account, though I do have a gun or two I would be able to sell and be able to pay for them. Though not sure I can let go of the rifles.

I was seriously considering a Leshiy, even went and shot one, really cool gun, but then I tried a Huben K1 and it was love at first sight so I went with it.

Yes, I tried a Huben K1 in .25. I understand first hand its appeal.

Yeah I have the K1 and the GK1 in 25 caliber. My Western rattler 357 is still my favorite in my collection but these two are close second.

I bought a Dedal Stalker scope here in the classifieds so I could put it on my Taipan Mutant. I liked it so much I bought a Leshiy Classic and put the glass on that instead. Keeper.
