Lelya Takes Flight: Beginning Of An EDgun Odyssey

What caliber. Folks want to know.

Yes sir, it is a quarter bore

Gorgeous AirRanger!

Turns out the card that came with the Lelya has a QR code that takes you to the home page of the Russian EDgun website (saw a previous model Lelya there as well, but not as artfully photographed as AirRanger's). The QR code on the bullpup takes you to the user manual.

Currently working on carry methods, and would appreciate anyone sharing their methods (sling, case, pack)

For simplicity, I put all the manuals in one place

Thanks for mentioning that!

Those who want to see an image of another artful detail on the new Lelya can check out the EDgunWest link above. The red laminate buttstock end has the normal composite material but there are small elongated ovals of a flexible material that does a great job of keeping the rifle from not slipping off the shoulder. These ovals are red on the red laminate Lelya. Very nice touch, as well as functional.

Received the tank, Warne scope mounts and Predator GTO pellets today. What a delight to be mounting a scope and beginning the process of dialing in this serious, graceful, impressive bullpup. Still many questions but shooting at 9 meters in the basement got the windage close, then one shot, flashlight in off hand, late at night in the backyard (old broken up alfalfa hay bales in front of a stacked railroad tie retaining wall as a backstop) confirmed that this powerful tool is too loud for our neighborhood, but that's OK. We have other areas not so far away.

Years ago I made a cardboard target box trap for an old classic Daisy .177 single pump pistol and also used it for slingshot. This was the target in the basement. I put a piece of 3/4 inch (medium density?) fiberboard material used for sturdy shelves, behind the box and backed it up against a cinder block wall. The pellets simply blasted through the 3/4 inch material. This is going to be something.
