I purchased one of the last few Lelya 2.0 Brian at Edgun West had earlier this year. At that time he said the Lelya and R5M were no longer in production. You can still purchase them from Edgun Spain but I haven’t see any available from Edgun West in the USA.

Unless I’m mistaken your budget is between $600-$1,500 for only the rifle? Is your shooting distance 100 ft (30 yards) or 100 yards? If it was me, I would take a hard look at the Daystate Huntsman Revere that’s on sale at AoA for $899 currently. There’s a .25 or .177 version available for...

This hobby is a money pit. However it puts a smile on your face each time! Length and weight (including scope as pictured) in case anyone wanted to know. Cricket 26" 7lbs 7oz Leshiy 27" 6lbs 6oz Lelya 25.75" 7lbs 15oz R3M 25.5" 7lbs 13oz

If you have the M4 and Ghost, those are two very popular and accurate bullpups. You should consider something different like a semi-auto fun gun such as an Edgun Leshiy 2 or Huben GK1. They’re not as accurate as the M4/Ghost but probably more fun to plink in the 50 yard range. Otherwise get a...

This might be comparing apples to oranges but I have an older .177 Cricket compact and .22 Taipan Mutant (pre-Veteran) compact. Both have rear cocking levers. I like both however generally speaking, the Taipan is more refined. The loading of the mag and cocking lever is much better...

The Viper PST Gen2 has been redesigned. Very few people have their hands on one since they only recently shipped pre-orders. You cannot compare a PST to a HST yet alone a PST Gen2. The PST Gen2 is also 3x the price of a Hawke Sidewinder so that's not even a fair comparison. I had the PST...

You might want to rethink this idea unless you have $1-2K+ laying around. I wouldn't go cheap on rangefinder binoculars. Plus almost all of them are large size binoculars to have the rangefinder feature in them. You're better off using a dedicated pair of binoculars and a carry a compact...

A .25 Cricket is a long bullpup. It looks funny with a Bulldog stock. They no longer make the extended Skeleton stock so my pick would be the current Extended stock they have for the .25.

On a long bench rest rifle, the length and weight of this scope shouldn't be an issue. On anything else, it's a tad long and on the heavy side. I also find it confusing after reading the specs. The reticle is MIL however the turrets is MOA? It probably won't matter if you print out your...

On the affordable airgun spectrum (sub $1K), there's already a lot of choices available. If you want something custom, it may cost you double the cost to go the custom route compared to an off the shelf airgun. Machinist and gunsmiths hobbies are expensive. If you're lucky to know a few, they...
