Winchester Wildcat .22 LR 18" Rimfire Rifle

Winchester Wildcat .22 LR Rimfire Rifle

Winchester has reimagined the rimfire rifle with the Wildcat, a modern autoloader that breaks from conventional design. This isn't another standard .22—it's a purpose-built platform that combines innovative engineering with practical features you won't find elsewhere.

Design & Action

The Wildcat employs a striker-fired action rather than traditional hammer-fired design, delivering improved trigger performance with faster locktime and lighter pull weight. A hemispherical firing pin enhances reliability with rimfire ammunition. The lower receiver assembly—containing the trigger group, reversible safety, and bolt—is field-removable via a simple push-button release, allowing bore cleaning from the chamber end without disassembly.

Controls & Operation

• Ambidextrous controls for left and right-handed shooters
• Dual ambidextrous magazine releases
• Easy-to-reach bolt lock and release buttons
• Integrated Picatinny rail for optics mounting
• Ghost ring rear sight and ramped post front sight

Magazine & Capacity

The Wildcat features a durable 10-round rotary polymer magazine with reliable bolt-stop functionality. A key advantage: the rifle also accepts standard 10/22 magazines, expanding your ammunition options.

Ergonomics & Comfort

The tough polymer stock weighs approximately four pounds and features a steep grip angle for improved finger-to-trigger reach. Optional accessories include a length-of-pull spacer (adds 3/4") and clip-on cheek riser (raises 1/2") for customized fit and optics mounting.

What's Included

Pair of Allen wrenches for stock removal and sight adjustment.
