Edgun leyla 2.0 Lame....review

[h2okenny]

Ivan, I'd be very interested in your take on the Eagle Vision mags. I accidentally put a mag in backwards on my .22 and broke it. Totally my fault (and incredibly stupid), but it did make me realize how fragile they are.

Will definitely let you know as soon as they arrive.

I also just found out about the eagle vision mags. Very interested to see how they work.

So finally got the larue mounted, it is a nice piece. So my final thoughts on the leyla. The forward straight bolt is a really nice feature. For a hunting rifle, to be able to quickly reload without disturbing sight picture is really nice. The ergonomics is great for off hand shooting. The trigger is good, not great but you get used to it very quickly. It’s quiet and small , with the bat, no additional moderator really needed. The magazine disconnect takes time to get used to, but to be able to decock a chambered round is nice. It is pricey and overly built, some of the finishing could be better( stock and small pieces) , but overall I am very impressed and happy. It has made several rifles obsolete. The quick reload is evident in how many targets I can get, compared to the leshiy. The power in .25 is a great asset.

Hello great read thank you.

I would like to know what kind of case people are using.For the Lelya 2.0 Thank you in advance Matt

No flyzone007, sorry for the late response, I use a roll top Patagonia bag with foam backing to cushion and add support to take the rifle out easier. I like the grey man theory, I like off the shelf non mil spec, no tactical anything. I also have an eberlestock s35 that is really large, fits almost every rifle I have. I have heard the eberlestock cherrybomb and the edgun packs are nice. My top compartment holds a rangefinder, binoculars, ammo, mags, small pack of baby wipes, camo face mask, small tools, permanent marker and sheets of small paper(marker and paper are for quick in the field zero check). Main bag only holds rifle and a small monopod. Hope this helps.

Nice review . I am getting ready to purchase my first PCP and am trying to buy a gun that won't leave me disappointed and reviews like this are really nice .

So to update my post, the leyla 2.0 is the one rifle in my quiver that just keeps getting better and better for me. But to be specific, I thought long and hard about this rifle and my needs after going through many other air rifles. Like a military contract, my main criteria’s are, compact, accurate, quiet, powerful, .25 caliber, fast reload time, easy to service, very durable, and a proven design. The leyla has served me well as a tool. It isn’t for punching paper. It won’t win ebr. It does take care of the crazy amounts of squirrels that go nuts around the property. Well, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here we go. All shots are head shots, from 22 yds. And yeah, even though I hunt around the forests and river beds once in a while, the main purpose of the leyla is squirrel eradication using a bait(peanuts). I don’t disturb the blue jays or any other critters that eat the peanuts, just squirrels that debark the trees, eat all the bird eggs and try and nest under the solar panels. The edgun just gets better with use, the trigger and action have definitely gotten much smoother and the off hand shooting is awesome. I haven’t changed any settings from factory and it likes edgun pellets and polymags.

Mod edit. Graphic photos deleted. Hunting section only.

Thanks , I hope it helps. Remember, the enjoyment of equipment in my opinion is the sum of parts that work well together, gun, optics, pellets, fill source. Pcp is expensive at first, but if you pick the right gear, and you shoot a lot, it makes up for the steep up front cost.

I need one after reading your review! Great looking gun. I hope someone has one to sell me

 

[GunshipGuy]

Nothing lame about your review. Really helpful, esp your comparison to other air rifles. Thanks a bunch.

 

[GunshipGuy]

Hate the Lelya 2 stock.

I spent some time modifying my stock...all is good now.

Mike, just curious. Was your dislike of the 2.0 stock based on its fit and feel, or on it's appearance?

Cocking is really clanky on the r5m, IMO a bit overpriced. Not a big fan of the ugly QR code, makes the gun look cheap.
