Winchester spent over a century building rimfires, and the Wildcat shows they were paying attention the whole time. This combo version takes an already clever 22 LR autoloader and tops it with a reflex-style electronic sight so you can start punching paper the same day you bring it home. The included red dot offers multiple brightness levels and reticle patterns, and it mounts to the integral Picatinny rail up top. If you ever want to run irons instead, the fully adjustable ghost ring rear and ramped post front sights are still there waiting.
At right around 4 pounds with a 36.25 inch overall length, this rifle carries like nothing all day, which matters more than people think when you're walking squirrel woods or handing it to a smaller-framed shooter. The 18 inch button-rifled chromoly barrel wears a recessed target crown and a 1:16 twist that stabilizes standard 22 LR loads nicely. The gray synthetic stock has front and rear sling eyelets, and there's a second rail section under the forearm (with a cover) for a light or bipod if that's your style.
Here's the part owners rave about: press one button at the rear of the receiver and the entire lower assembly drops out for cleaning. No punches, no tiny screws rolling under the bench. You also get rear barrel access, so you can run a rod from the breech like you should. Controls are genuinely ambidextrous, with a reversible safety, a left-side bolt release, and a magazine release you can hit from either side.
The included 10 round rotary magazine loads easily and holds the bolt open on the last shot. Even better, the Wildcat accepts aftermarket magazines built for 10/22 rifles, so high-capacity options are everywhere and affordable. Between the light weight, soft manners, and simple maintenance, this is an easy rifle to recommend for first-timers and seasoned rimfire fans alike.
Yes, and it's one of the best things about this rifle. The Wildcat feeds from aftermarket magazines designed for 10/22 pattern rifles, so you're not locked into proprietary mags. It ships with one 10 round rotary magazine that includes a last-shot bolt hold-open feature.
It's a Winchester-branded reflex-style electronic sight with multiple brightness settings and selectable reticle patterns. It mounts on the rifle's integral Picatinny rail and gets you on target fast without any extra purchases. If you ever upgrade to a different optic later, the rail accepts standard Picatinny mounts.
This is where the Wildcat really stands apart. Pressing a single button at the rear of the receiver lets the whole lower assembly drop free, no tools required, and the design gives you rear barrel access so you can clean from the breech end. Compared to detail-stripping most rimfire autoloaders, it's about as painless as it gets.
It's a great pick for that job. At around 4 pounds with essentially no recoil, a 13.5 inch length of pull, and simple ambidextrous controls, it fits a wide range of shooters comfortably. The included red dot also makes early sight picture lessons a lot easier than starting on irons.
