Winchester Wildcat Sporter .22 LR
The Wildcat Sporter represents Winchester's commitment to delivering a practical, accurate .22 rifle for shooters of all experience levels. This semi-automatic rifle combines time-tested blowback operation with modern ergonomics and genuine wood furniture.
Design & Operation
The Wildcat employs a reliable blowback action that requires minimal maintenance. The drop-out lower receiver assembly makes field cleaning straightforward—simply remove the lower to access the action. A striker-fired design with a hemispherical firing pin tip ensures consistent ignition across the full range of .22 ammunition.
Accuracy & Handling
The 18-inch button-rifled barrel features a recessed target crown for protection and precision. The sporter contour provides a natural balance point for offhand shooting. At just 4 pounds 8 ounces, the Wildcat handles like a true sporter rifle, making it ideal for small game hunting, target work, or introducing new shooters to semi-automatic rifles.
Sights & Customization
The rifle ships with fully adjustable Ghost Ring rear and ramped post front sights—proven designs that work reliably in the field. An integral Picatinny rail atop the receiver accommodates optics, and the rifle is drilled and tapped for scope mounting. The rail also accepts aftermarket 10/22-pattern magazines for expanded ammunition capacity options.
Ergonomics
Ambidextrous magazine release and reversible manual safety accommodate both left and right-handed shooters. The Grade I wood stock features cut checkering and satin oil finish, while sling swivel studs allow for field carry.
