Lightweight scope for Edgun leshiy
- Thread starter Hagopk123
- Start date
I currently have a red dot on my Leshiy (classic) because I can't find a scope that:
- has long eye relief (at least 5"); and
- has parallax adjustment to 10 yards or less; and
- has a minimum magnification of 2x or less and a max of at least 6x; and
- is light weight; and
- has reasonably good glass; and
- doesn't cost a fortune (I see you, March)

What are you going to use the rifle for? It's hard to give you an answer if the scope doesn't have a role. March makes great light scopes that can do anything you want, but they're expensive, as Offhand mentions. If you have a fairly specific role for your scope to play, you can likely find one that's nice and affordable that'll do the job. My leshiy is mostly for night-time hunting, so I usually have a thermal scope on it.

If you can find one, a Burris 4.5-14 x32 Timberline compact, one inch tube. Adjustable obj down to 7yds. Have one on my Leshy in a Bobro mount and it is sized right. I don't think they make them any more but maybe able to find one used and in good shape. Something to consider.

@Offhand has described my struggle to find the ideal Classic Leshiy scope quite well. It's always a compromise.
The Timberline suggestion is a good one if the minimum 4.5x magnification & the corresponding field of view works for you. But hard to find.
If you don't mind the scope hanging over the back or able to get away with less eye relief your choices will open up.

I like my Burris Fullfield scopes and I only use Burris pistol scopes,.some have AO,go to their site and check them out.
Also, there is a scope called the Scout scope,it gives a lot of eye relief...

what kind of shooting?
most of the time i use a 1-10x lpvo, because i like using it like a red dot for arcade type fun.
problem with most lpvo is the fixed parallax, unless you can afford a march shorty so you can use all magnification up close.

How far out do you shoot w/ the red dot? I got a moa 2 but have not had the chance to take it to the field.

All fits Leshiy if objective is not larger then 42-44mm and length doesn’t exceed 350-360mm.

Nice set ups!! Can you please give us a rundown on the optics? I am looking for a compact scope for my lelya. I like the looks of some of those.

The Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12×42 AHMR2 is a great little scope. Not as small as a true LPVO because of the front glass, it has nearly every requirement most airgunners desire (if not needing or wanting super high magnification).

Helos BTR GEN2 2-12x42 FFP IR MIL | DMR Scope
A wide range field of view with ample magnification. A DMR scope ideally suited for riflemen preferring a MIL based reticle option.

Anyone try the Meopta Optika5 2-10x42 (the version with PA?) Specs similar to Athlon mentioned above, no IR, 2nd FP, lighter.

I actually don’t remember but if you search google for “suppressor cover” you will find many in different colors.

Which was your favorite? I have the S-tac 3-16 SFP in the mail. My leshiy currently has a Leupold VX Freedom 3-9x33 EFR mounted.

I would choose vortex razor hd lht then.
Leupold will go for my hw30s (currently with Burris timberline )

I will try to get a pic up of my Burris 4.5-12 compact on the Leshy with Bobro mount. Very compact and light. However, field of view is a bit tight at higher powers but it works well for me on that platform. it is low profile with the standard turrents.

Hawke Airmax 2-7x32 fits all the requirements except for the eye relief, I believe it's a bit shorter than 5" but still quite comfortable to use. I have one on my Prod and I love it.
