which one would you chose friends? and why? i know trigger is better on taipan but lelya is sexy looking rig. also easy to service. what else?
taipan short or lelya 2.0?
- Thread starter tsakula
- Start date
I've always wondered between the two. I think the Lelya will be a better off hand shooter because of the design of the stock. I plan to eventually get both.

I own both the Taipan Mutant Shorty .22 and the Lelya 2.0 in .25 caliber. The Mutant has the better trigger and the magazine system and cocking effort is smooth and precise. Both are compact and hard to shoot off sticks or bench due to lack of real estate in the foregrip area. That being said, they're both worth it.
The advantage of the better trigger, cocking effort, and overall magazine system goes to the Taipan.
The EDgun Lelya excels in ease of maintenance by the end user with minimal tools, superior support from Ed and the EDgun community including complete disassembly, complete parts manual for easy replacement of anything you'd need, and just rugged build quality.
Accuracy is even between the two. CZ barrel on the Taipan is superb. LW barrel on the Lelya is fantastic.
Build quality is a bit better on the EDgun just because the barrel isn't exposed and the overall construction feels better in the hand. That being said, both guns have been trouble-free.
So the question you should be asking: do I mind rear cocking or do I NEED a forward cocking lever? Do I plan on tinkering with the gun or servicing the gun myself or do I plan on shipping it out to an expert tuner?
You can't go wrong with either one. If price is the main limiting factor, then the Taipan wins hands down. Hope this helps!

I have a Lelya 2.0 in .22 cal. It’s every bit as good as the reviews say, I’m very impressed with the accuracy. And I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to shoot accurately off hand. I really like this little gem. Can’t say anything about the taipan, except that CZ barrels are excellent. The trigger on my Lelya is nice, breaks clean and is quite light. It has two distinct stages, the first stage is really light and you can barely feel it. Then it hits the second stage and it’s like a wall, no mushy movement at all, and it breaks like glass so I have no complaints. It seems to me to be a excellent hunting trigger and the accuracy really makes you smile, it’s a really fun little gun. Here’s a full magazine at 35 yards. Oh and that’s my pinky finger, so the group is really pretty good! Ha ha

It’s the 2.5X-25X42. MAR1016. It’s about 12 3/8 inches long and very lightweight. I decided to cry once and buy once lol!

Similar question asked a week or three ago,
Again. I had three or four I was looking at with the Taipan being one, not sorry at all that I bought the Lelya. A tough strong gun, that's accurate and easy to shoot (offhand).

There are still a few compacts with the CZ barrels out there but they’re going fast and at an increased price it looks like. I’ve heard rumors, but exactly what is going on with the barrel switch? I guess it is possible to mess up a wet dream and there are better words than mess. Time will tell how the new barrels and the new price will play out for them, as they were a great value. Good luck with your decision!
