Winchester Wildcat VSX Tungsten Semi-Automatic Rifle 22LR with 16.5" Barrel

Winchester Wildcat SR 22LR - A New Breed of Rimfire Excellence

The Winchester Wildcat is not just another .22 rifle; it represents a paradigm shift in the world of rimfire firearms. With over a century's legacy, Winchester Repeating Arms has once more set the bar high with this innovative autoloader.

At its core, the Wildcat is designed for those who seek both performance and reliability. Unlike traditional designs, this rifle employs a striker-fired mechanism akin to centerfire rifles. This choice enhances trigger performance by delivering faster lock time and reducing pull weight—a true boon for accuracy enthusiasts.

A standout feature is its hemispherical firing pin, which significantly boosts reliability when using rimfire ammunition—an often-overlooked advantage that seasoned shooters will appreciate. The durable 10-round polymer magazine boasts a rotary design that ensures smooth loading and operation while incorporating a bolt stop to hold the action open after the last shot.

The ease of maintenance cannot be overstated; with just one button push, you can detach the lower receiver assembly containing essential components like the trigger group and bolt assembly. This allows cleaning from the chamber end without hassle—a thoughtful touch for maintaining peak performance.

The upper receiver made from rugged Tungsten-colored polymer integrates an all-important Picatinny rail ready for optics mounting. Additionally, ambidextrous controls such as dual magazine releases make handling comfortable whether you're left or right-handed.
