I ordered my Leshiy Tuesday from Brian at Edgun West and USPS delivered it Thursday (amazing). Brian was very professional and easy to do business with.The Leshiy .22cal arrived in pristine condition along with the Dedal Stalker scope securely wrapped and double boxed. Anyway my first impression of both products was WOW! The scope is 6 and 3/8 long 1.5 diameter weighs 14oz. Its clear, bright, and solid with a fantastic retical with multiple illumination settings more designed for hold over than clicking as the turrets are small with oring sealed caps. I can get a clear picture out past 100 yards no problem. The gun is solid and reminds me of a springer in the way you load it. Its powerful and quiet, easy to adjust the hammer spring and very basic mechanically. I'm not sure if I like the electronic gauge as its led and hard to see in daylight ( i cup my hand over it to see it). I haven't shot it a lot yet but i have 3 other PCP's and the leshiy is a little trickier to shoot accurately.So far my best groups have been around (1.5) inches at 55 yards.Im shooting the 16gr JSBs with a little wind but my .25 Impact will do (.5) on the same day. I'm sure its me more than the gun. The trigger is single stage but light with a little creep. To conclude, I'm liking it and sure its going to be a sweet little tool once I get it dialed in and get more practiced with it.

Congrats! Glad the wait is over for you.
I would plan on getting an analog gauge and a Huma regulator. You might have better luck with your EDMU, but it helps to have a plan B at the ready.

Congratulations! Don't get discouraged with the accuracy of the little thing. It a different gun compared to a full sized long barrel Impact . They can't compared. They are two total different animals. The light, short barreled Leishey strength is ergonomics in the woods. After all it is translated as the "forest goblin".

Thanks guys, that huma reg is om my list mtnGhost and the gauge too. Your right davidsng it takes getting use to shooting. Going to be trying the 18grs soon and see how Leshiy likes them. Any advice is appreciated

You might want to look into the trigger mod (plunger screw) It really tightened up my groups.

The Leshiy takes some time getting used to. I have no doubt that the 1.5 inch group will close up. Im shooting polymags (.22) at that and even greater distances in birds as small as sparrows. Im also only using a $160 UTG Acushot on it. All I know is that it works very well. I had just bought a Lelya in .22 3 weeks back and I think I like my Leshiy oner it. My leshiy is the gen 2 without the electronic gauge but my Lelya has one. I do not care for it and will be replacing it soon. I just want to give it some time before I swap it out. As for the trigger. I never had any issues with it but I feel it takes some time to smooth out.

As you note, great little gun. BUT, it does like one pellet over others. I bought four different pellet styles and weights. I'm sure that you know, as with any gun, try several different pellets before condemning. Same with powder burning rifles too.
I just bought a Lelya from Brian. I did some stock modifications until it fit well in my hands. So far, the H&N, Sniper Magnum, at 17.9gr. is MUCH more accurate than the other three I bought. If I would have just bought one or two of the ones that don't seem to fly well, I'd be sorely disappointed in the accuracy. I'm going to try some heavier one's here soon.

I bought a couple from MSC direct, one snapped as I started to thread it and the other has too hard of a pull (2.4lbs). These are higher quality - Grainger and some other carry them if you search for the SKUs..
