I have a Leshiy 2 Sparrow for about 1.5 years now in .25 cal, looking at the FX M3 in 600mm, thoughts? Not sure on what caliber yet, maybe .30? It's used mainly for varmint hunting.
Anyone own both a Leshiy 2 and FX Impact M3?

I’ve got a Leshiy 2 in .25 and an M3 compact in .22, use both for pesting and both are laser tack drivers. However, for anything under 75 yards, I find myself using the Leshiy more and more because of the semi auto aspect. Makes follow up shots a breeze!

I have both my L2 hasn’t been out of the gun room for over 6 months where my M3 hasn’t even been in the gun room as i use it so much, i just don’t like the L2 trigger imo it’s awful

Love both equally. Shooting pellets they are equally just as accurate. The M3 give you more versatility as you can shoot multiple pellet weights and slugs on the fly by adjusting the hammer spring adjustment wheels. On my 22cal M3 I have the regulators tuned to 150 bar on reg 1 and 130 bar on reg 2 I am sending 25gr slugs down to 18gr pellets by only having to adjust the power wheel.
I do shoot the Leshiy 2 more often as it is far more compact and easier to put in a backpack. The drawback is that it's louder and you can't adjust it on the fly.

I have both and love both. However they are two very different guns. The L2 is, obviously, semi-automatic, whereas the M3 is not. The M3 definitely has the edge in accuracy, primarily due to the trigger (and in fact, my L2 has gotten better int he accuracy department since I swapped in a 600mm FX Impact barrel!) I see the L2 more as a “Fun Gun”, the M3 is the more versatile total. Your mileage may vary…

Me too...per signature below. Two very different rifles so it's perfectly kosher to own both.

I own the L2 in .30 with a .25 FX conversion as well. I also own the M3 in .35 but also have the .30, .25 and .22 barrel kits because I also own a M2.
The M3 stays in the case most of the time as it is heavier and not much hunting that warrants .35 in my immediate area.
As stated above, two very different rifles and I love them both.

I own an L2 and M3 both in .22 and .30. I find my L2 a funner gun and the most useful for varmint hunting which is typically less than 70 yards around here. I use the M3 for putting holes in paper at 100+ yards which I don’t do that often

Leshiy 2 in .30 and m3 in .35 . Both great guns . I got the Leshiy because of its size and portability .
