EDgun Leshiy 2 - New Glass, New Hand guard, New Moderator, New Look!

[Michael]

I swapped out the Dedal Stalker 6x for Hawke's new Frontier 4-20x50 FFP scope

, swapped out the Valkyrie Shorokh handguard and moderator for the Valkyrie Tishina combo

, and added a few bits of vinyl wrap for good measure

.

I'm going to try and stretch her legs (after this polar vortex ends) with the extra magnification provided by the Frontier scope. Did I mention how impressed I am with the new Hawke scopes? I recently picked up the all new Sidewinder 4-16x50 FFP and the Frontier 4-20x50 FFP. They both have really nice glass and a wide FOV! More on those later.

What a work of art. This is on my bucket list 100%. Hope you get to enjoy this thing.

Looks very cool- You did good job on it.

Looks like the ultimate urban ratting gun!!!

Great mods and nice new Hawke! Have fun stretching it's legs with more magnification....make sure to stock up on ammo before hand with that semi auto Eddie! LOL!

Hi Michael,

I'd be very interested in hearing your unvarnished thoughts on the Dedal Stalker vs the Hawke. Obviously they're different beasts, but which do you think belongs most on the L2?

TIA,

GsT

Nice!!! I like the broken carbon fiber pattern look you have on there. Is it vinyl wrap?

Edit: Disregard. I just read your other post that it is vinyl wrap.

I’m loving how us guys are primping our Leshiy’s with different accessories and finishes. Amazing what a little imagination , some tape, paracord , vinyl wrap, neoprene or paint can give this little gun a different personality. Of course it’s beautiful right out of the box but it’s the American way to primp it out too. Made a 100+ yard shot on a pigeon today with the 30 x 450 and FX Hybrid slug. Guessed and Held about 4” high and nailed him. I have only been shooting it at 40 to 50 yards in my wooded yard. I’m waiting for warmer weather to take it to the range and get some dope on different distances. Then I plan on getting back to groundhog hunting again without the fear of pissing off home owners with blasts from my powder burners anymore.

Airgun hunting and FFP go together extremely well once one passes 50 yards.

and there are starting to be many good options.

I've read other good things about the Hawke scopes too. It looks good on there, not too big. The wrap looks cool. 

 

[qball]

That looks freaking awesome!

Super sweet looking rig...

Looks awesome, enjoy shooting it.

I prefer FFP for close range too. I love how the reticle changes size with different magnifications.

The new HAWKE FRONTIERS have REAL Killer glass!

I'm impressed with the Sidewinder as well. The Frontiers have what Hawke calls H7 glass while the Sidewinders have H5 glass. I'm guessing that H5 glass will be more than adequate for majority of shooters. The wide FOV on both is outstanding.

That is one nice look's set up!

I've looked thru a lot of Hawke scopes and the one thing I have never seen is great glass. I have yet to look at a Frontier however. I've always found them to be over priced with sub par optics at best.
