    Broughton Astley Gun Shop,
    All depends where in Leicester you live, i personally dont use any of them i would sooner travel to either BAR or Dowlings both you can reach easy with in a couple of hours and you have a better choice i.m.o.

    I agree with whats said above. If I was you I would have a trip to Sandwell field sports in Birmingham and enjoy their hospitality and service. You can even try the gun out on their range before you buy.

    Good luck

    depending on which side of leicester you're from there's a decent shop in melbourne (Ashby/Derby side), you'll have to look them up, melbourne rod and gun i think

    or there's Drapers in nottingham, theyre good too

    Dont write Kibworth off.
    They have a good range of air rifles,testing ground where you can try before you buy and they use a support company so you can try night vision from SB and Starlight in field before you buy.
    BAR is 3+ hours drive.
    Sandwell around 2 hours drive Tony is a good guy though!
