Winchester Guns Wildcat Wgun 521158102 S 22Lr 18 Odg/Fde

The Winchester Wildcat in .22 LR with OD Green and Flat Dark Earth finish is a modern, lightweight rimfire rifle built for shooters who want reliable semi-automatic performance without the weight penalty of heavier designs. This is blowback-operated rimfire that strips down fast, handles like a joy, and gives you a genuine Picatinny rail ecosystem right out of the box—perfect for hunters zeroing in on small game, shooters building a suppressed plinker, or anyone who just wants a .22 that doesn't feel like a toy.

The Wildcat's polymer construction and drop-out lower receiver assembly make maintenance straightforward: field-strip it in seconds for cleaning. The precision button-rifled barrel with recessed target crown delivers the accuracy you'd expect from Winchester, while the striker-fired design with hemispherical firing pin tip ensures consistent ignition across thousands of rounds. Sling eyelets front and rear let you kit it out for field work, and the integral top Picatinny rail accepts optics or backup sights without adapters.

The rifle ships with a 10-round rotary magazine featuring polymer body and metal feed lips, plus last-round bolt hold-open so you know when you're dry. Magazine release is fully ambidextrous, spring-assisted for reliable ejection, and the safety reverses for left-hand shooters. Best of all, it accepts standard aftermarket 10/22 magazines, so you're not locked into proprietary inventory. The two-tone finish—OD Green composite stock paired with Flat Dark Earth Perma-Cote on barrel and receiver—looks tactical without being loud about it.

Sights come factory-installed: a fully adjustable Ghost Ring rear and ramped post front sight for rapid target acquisition. Add a red dot, a scope, or run it as-is—the Wildcat is ready for whatever .22 mission you've got in mind.
