Acquired my first Edgun product

[CTAirgunner]

That's a very respectable group, and I agree, the 350 bottle looks a lot more usable. I have been using the Nightforce rings on a .300WM for years and they are really excellent.
This was the video I watched, I shouldn't have mentioned it without posting a link:

The L2 does look to be perfect in that role.

I like the gun, when I was fixing the few booboos it had (previous owner should not have owned an air rifle) I was really impressed with the quality of the components.

I do not take this rifle as something that is toy like, it's definitely rugged, I'm even a fan of the polymer lower.

Also I have seen that video but at the time I watched it. I only watched it for the bikinis lol

yea i was trying to figure out how the vidieo was gun related. i had to watch it a few times.

You don’t want to come slum it with us and get a Notos?! Haha. Nice carbine.

@Pumacarl I came for the the bikini and the video didn’t disappoint. At the 6:05 and 7:10 marks, among others, I’m an admirer. She is fit!! But the dog is the star of the show. I love working dogs. This was very well put together. Great image quality, editing and camera work. Those L2s seem to function flawlessly. They didn’t appear to have an issue. I wonder if they even needed to refill them. Any idea on the caliber used?

Thanks for sharing.

After reading y’all’s responses I don’t feel so bad admitting it.

No idea! She never said. It was kind of disappointing how they never talked about the epuipment at all. Nobody seemed to be ranging anything, it was pretty much spray and pray. They looked good doing it though.

The python cowboy videos are awesome, and trapper mike does an amazing job at both making videos, and hosting trips for people in the south Florida area using Leshiy 2’s. His are all 30 cal, and they’re setup a specific way to the point where Brian at edgiest offered a python cowboy version of the leshiy 2.

What’s the deal with the jets on the L2? I’ve read of guys swapping calibers or changing their gun’s configuration and they will add or remove a jet or two. What are they and what’s their purpose?

There's been a lot written about tuning with the jets over the past few years that can be searched for, but I'll try to summarize.

The jets are essentially used to control the dwell time on the valve. Jets with larger holes cause the valve to close faster and jets with smaller holes close the valve slower. Ideally you want to tune the dwell of the valve to the overall volume of the barrel for best efficiency, but can also be used to tone down the power levels for a particular setup.

For example as 350mm .30 barrel you would want a longer dwell than for a 350mm .22 barrel.

Once dwell is set, speed is simply adjusted with the regulator setting.

@ctshooter Ended up reading about them after I posted. EGW | Leshiy 2 Power Jets

A lot of that is more complicated than I'd like to get into with the L2 considering the power limitations. It was simply something I was curious about.

 

[CTAirgunner]

The person I got my L2 from definitely should not have owned a precharged pneumatic device of any kind. I got it on the cheap and have had to make a small handful of repairs, Ive also changed a few things.

While working on it over the last 2 weeks I have come to realize the rifle is pretty straight forward if you just take a look at it before diving in. I have had to ask @ctshooter a few procedural things like, best way to degas for instance... which btw Edgun made incredibly easy (once pointed out to me). The fact that can be adjusted up and down under pressure is really nice as well.

Also 75 fpe with 44.75 and only a 13.75" barrel, pretty badass. I cant imagine what a 600mm barrel would do with .30 cal slugs.

 

[Loren]

Cool rifle! I have always liked the looks of them.

 

[Heyboy]

Nice! I have the same pack setup! Love my eberlestock pack. I’m pushing a Zan 22 grain slug at 965 with a 7ES and 2SD. Huma bottom metal and reg. I just use the speed loader. Carrying mags on the outside was good for the range but for me in my experience they will fall off, get dirt in them or catch on the pack pulling it in and out.

 

[Heyboy]

I just switch optics between my March and pulsar. This is the ultimate truck gun. It is the one I reach for when something needs a hole put in it…

 

[CTAirgunner]

Well, the leshiy 2 was a very well made rifle, very fun, however, it didn't make me instantly grin every time I took that first trigger pull when I would take it out.

I would never not recommend one unless of course it just didn't fit the bill but I have truly spoiled myself with the A A A line up and there's going to be few that live up to my expectations of enjoyment.

I sent it on its way 2 days ago and turned the funds into good stuff for my jeep.

Hopefully when the mini evol .30 comes out I can snag one and slap a folding stock on it and stuff it in my pack.

I suppose if you don't have the right target rich environment semi is kinda 'meh' compared to an excellent trigger but in the old dump rat shooting days that L2 would have been king! It's good to know what you like.

That was a mighty short relationship! But good on ya for letting her go if you know it's not a gun you love! I just wouldn't have poured so much goodies into a new gun quite that fast myself I prefer to shoot it as is with a decent scope for a solid while( 6 month minimum).... Fall in love? Then I will get the goodies for it. All in all what would your opinion be on why it just didn't compare to your AAA collection If I may?

It just wasn't for me

The Edgun is a well built rifle in different ways than the Evols are but the Evols check all my boxes, the Edgun was not the scalpel that my Evols are , the magazine loading takes some practice to get it perfect, and it just did not bring the same grin to my face. Thats all.

It’s time consuming enough for me to just buy another Leishy 2 if I wanted another caliber or size if my wallet allowed other than that I won’t mess with the internals except the initial velocity adjustment via the regulator

 

[pan60]

the Leishy 2 is still on my radar somewhat distant but there.
i wunder what kind of longevity these guns have?
they seam complex.
for those of you who have them what kind of maintance do you preform? how often? could i put in in the closet and pull it out in five year and run it?
will it run flawless for ten years?
is it a hand me down gun?
