Best value Leshiy scopes?

The 4×21 is (was) also available branded as Barska and the reviews were also very very mixed, from “ok scope” to “impossible to zero”.

So far that Vector looks great to me (for sub-$300 scopes)

While I intend to use the 1-6×28 Tac-Vector Optics scope on Leshiy with the .25cal barrel, I will probably also get this little Russian PU style 4×21 scope with adjustable parallax for my .22 barrel when using Leshiy inside barns and sheds on pigeons etc on low power..

I currently use a 14ftlbs P-rod in a Rapid compact bullpup for that work with a 4x Burris or a Russian Yukon NV scope on it for those jobs but I’m really looking forward to replacing it with the Leshiy.

MRV, nice choice on scopes, I like the reticle. Simple and easy to read. I assume it is 2nd focal ?

I really believe Leshiy is an airgun with serious 50/75meters potential. I can use 4x scope at 50m distance for general shooting (if the glass is really good) but 6x would be much better. However compact scope with X-to-10x and side focus (plus reticle with a lot of reference points sounds) like a dream to me. Yeah, March 1-10×24 comes to mind immediately BUT my wallet is not ready for that. So I have an enormous hope for Leshiy & Vortex PST 2.5-10×32 compatibility. Yeah! That scope is awesome! Just could have been 2″ shorter 😉

In 1-4x range it’s hard to beat SWFA 1-4×24 Classic Tactical with that awesome MilQuad reticle. You get awesome scope for the money! Lelya approved!

Awesome! I’ve got to start saving I guess 😉

Actually…. not. It’d be great Lelya scope, but I’d say forget about ‘connect’ series on Leshiy. Connect has a supershort eye relief, which means the scope has to be close to the eye. Sure, it’s possible to mount it that way BUT on a folded Leshiy it’d protrude at least 3 to 4 inches from the end line of a gun. And that would completely ruin the concept. I measured the pull lenght on my guns and compared to Leshiy drawings and measurements and I need at least 3.5″ eye relief to use it comfortably. 4″ would be great, 4.5″ would be blessing. Connect series with ‘next to the eye-bell’ relief is a no-go for Leshiy (imho).

I simulated the Vortex on Leshiy with eye-bell protruding about half inch behind the end of folded gun, which is absolutely max for me…

I’m sure my #1 scope choice would be 1-4×24 SWFA with MilQuad reticle. BUT…. what if I’d like to put something more powerful? Like up to 10x and with thin mil-based reticle and side focus? Sure, there is an awesome compact March 1-10 but it’s WAY above my budget. So below is my simutlation of Leshiy with Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10×32 scope, which is one of the coolest general airgun scopes around. And it’s be still easy to carry in a discreet way. What do you think? Acceptable compromise? Looks not bad at all IMHO!

Okay, it’s great that the Leshiy is fold-able but that shit is becoming too long now. Isn’t the standard 250mm barrel model 24.9″? The one pictured looks crazy long.

Also, what’s the eye relief on these 1x scopes? Are they better than a normal scope since most of them like Wingman said are much further forward without a cantilever mount.
