Two of the same?
What is the point of having two very similar guns, even if they are different calibers?
I really like the Edgun Leshiy but the Price is very very high. If I up my Money a bit I can get a Edgun Matador R3M .25 Short like the One Keyser reviewed. The problem is I already have a bullpup. The only difference between the Eddy and my Cricket apart from .22 vs .25 is Bolt action vs side lever and design. So why bother?
What I’m saying is a gun would have to be different from the One I have for Me to justify spending so much Money. But the Leshiy is hard to justify costing the same as my Cricket Compact .22 did, with extra barrel it cost more.
You guys with similar guns, how did you justify it?

There are a few of us who rely on these things for pest control/work. If one rifle needs repair, it’s nice to have another. If something is critical, whether it’s an air rifle or irrigation pump, I want at least two. That way, one can choose when it’s convenient to fix the problematic tool and the stress level goes down.
Hands on experience is key. No one but you can determine what you may or may not like. Lever action and bolt action both have very different feel. Pulling on the bolt and cocking an R3M for some reason feels pretty badass. Cycling a Mutant’s butter smooth lever also puts a smile on my face. End of the day it’s a hobby and some just have more toys than others. Buy what you can afford. If it’s only one gun then pick what you might like the best. If you’re lucky enough to have a few different ones then the minor differences that each gun has makes each enjoyable in a different way. Whatever you don’t like there’s always the YF classified.
For me it’s what one defines as being a hobby ……… and from there set up your limits …….. as for some have come to find out it can often have none. :winkn:

Cricket , I know how you feel . I myself will not fall into the have the same type of gun regardless of caliber . I have 2 guns , one is
a single shot Talon SS which was my first PCP and I have two barrels for it one in .22 and the other in .25 . I prefer the .25 over the
.22 because I like the kill factor better . My second PCP is a Vulcan in .25 with a 9 shot magazine which I really like because I can
shoot faster than having to load my gun one shot at a time and still be able to stay on my single target or more targets that I will
be able to contact with as needed . Now the only PCP option left for me wither it will be a .22 or a .25 caliber will have to be in a
semi-auto PCP gun and it will have to be a bullpup or even a smaller gun like a shortie , a long gun is out of the question . I have
the money to buy whatever I want so for me cost doesn’t matter , what matters is that I will not play the Fad Game , If the gun isn’t
exactly what I want and expect it to be than I’am not going to buy it regardless how many people who buy it and say that it is the best
gun on the market .

They may do the same job but still not the same. I have owned them all (literally) and I found little things I liked and things I didn’t like in each model. What the experience of owning so many different brands did was it helped me make my decision on which gun I liked best. Real experience beats internet experience every day. I had fun on my quest to learn as much as I could about each brand and model. My real job has taught me that we are here for a very short time, I see bad things happen to good people everyday. Pursue what interests you and have fun, It will be over before you know it.
