You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk
So it's £1100 and the trigger is crap? It should be match perfect with more adjustment than a WRC car's suspension. Just a complete rip-off that will still appeal to "those types" at the club.
Innovative guns seem to come up against a lot of resistance from "those types" at the club, and on the fora.
By the way, it's not a bullpup.
I don't have a Leshiy, but can see its attractions for some. Come on guys, we're all shooters. Can't we just see that different folks like different strokes?
I accept and embrace the fact that we all like different pistols and rifles and it's great that we do.
My objection is to the cost/performance ratio of this particular product. Surely we all agree that for £1100, the Leishy should be superb in all respects?

Looks good but I can't personally see the point as I have a FF10 which is a take down multi-shot and you don't have to bend the gun in half every time you need to shoot.
is it classed as a pistol?
Ted's Holdover has just published his Leshiy (+Connect) review on Youtube.
Entertaining - as always, he puts a lot of effort in to his reviews - and he also describes the rifle as niche.

I could cope with price as you don't get many new guns under 1k nowadays, but I doubt very much that I would cope with folding my gun in half to cock it. I also belive that, it is in no way adjustable, so you could and up with a gun having the power of a pistol or even worse a section 1 firearm, that you can do nothing with. Having said that I have never shot one, maybe the experience makes it worthwhile, I hope those that do have them will enjoy them and tell us more about them.
Finally, not sure how Daystate came into this thread but for the record, I own several MK3's and have never had an issue at all, lucky maybe.

For me, the Leshiy sets out to to be an ultra lightweight, compact and foldable hunting rig that can disappear into a backpack for a few days' trek into the woods, and achieves this goal admirably. There just isn't much out there that can claim the same dimensions, weight and power (in FAC equivalent of course) that the Leshiy can. Of course, there aren't a lot of us in the UK who could claim to use it as such a 'trail' rifle but in the US in particular, I could see this really gaining some traction.
Curiously, the etymology of the word 'leshiy' is a "tutelary spirit of the forests in Slavic folklore" which seems to indicate that the gun was conceived around this idea.
