Winchester 521163102 WILDCAT MOBL FDE, S, 22LR

The Winchester Wildcat is a lightweight, semi-automatic rimfire rifle built for shooters who want reliable, fun 22 LR performance without the weight or complexity. This particular model pairs Winchester's proven blowback operation with Mossy Oak Bottomland camouflage furniture and a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Perma-Cote finish—a practical, low-profile aesthetic that works equally well at the range, in the field, or on the farm. If you're looking for a modern take on the classic rimfire platform that's genuinely easy to maintain and configure with optics or iron sights, the Wildcat hits the mark.

The receiver is polymer with an integral top Picatinny rail for mounting scopes, and the modular design includes a drop-out lower for quick field cleaning. The 10-round rotary magazine features a last-round bolt hold open, so you'll know when you're dry, and it works with aftermarket 10/22-pattern magazines for flexibility. Sling eyelets front and rear, plus a Picatinny rail underneath the forearm (with rail cover included), give you the foundation to set this up however you shoot.

Right out of the box, you get a fully adjustable Ghost Ring rear sight and a ramped post front—honest backup iron sights that work. The precision button-rifled barrel wears a recessed target crown, and the striker-fired design with a hemispherical firing pin ensures consistent ignition. Ambidextrous magazine release and a reversible safety button make it equally at home for right- or left-handed shooters. This is a no-nonsense rimfire that rewards accuracy without drama.
