The Winchester Wildcat SR 22LR is a suppressor-ready rimfire rifle built for shooters who want hearing protection, lightweight handling, and genuine versatility in a compact platform. At just 4 pounds with a 16.5-inch barrel, this semi-automatic .22 excels as a truck gun, training rifle, or quiet backyard plinker—especially when paired with a suppressor (sold separately). The threaded muzzle accepts standard 1/2 x 28 TPI suppressors, and Winchester includes a knurled thread protector for unsuppressed shooting.
The Wildcat SR combines rugged polymer construction throughout the upper and lower receivers with a chromoly steel barrel featuring precision button rifling and a recessed crown. You get dual ambidextrous magazine releases, a reversible safety, and a 10-round rotary magazine with metal feed lips and last-round bolt hold open—reliable features that won't quit. The adjustable ghost ring rear sight and ramped post front sight are complemented by an integral Picatinny rail for easy optic mounting, while under-forearm and sling-eyeleted rails give you plenty of accessory mounting options.
Whether you're introducing new shooters to rimfire, running suppressed .22 matches, or just enjoying quiet plinking sessions, the Wildcat SR delivers Winchester reliability in a chassis that handles like a scaled rifle. Its lightweight synthetic stock and compact footprint make it a natural choice for anyone who values portability without sacrificing shootability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a suppressor on the Wildcat SR?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 1/2 x 28 TPI and ready to accept a suppressor. Winchester includes a knurled thread protector for when you're shooting unsuppressed. Note that suppressors are sold separately and are legal in 42 states at the federal level (check local regulations).
What sights come standard on this rifle?
The Wildcat SR includes an adjustable ghost ring rear sight and a ramped post front sight, so it's ready to shoot right out of the box. An integral Picatinny rail is also built in, making it easy to mount a rimfire optic if you prefer a scope.
Is this rifle ambidextrous?
Yes. The Wildcat SR features dual ambidextrous magazine releases, a reversible manual safety button, and an ambidextrous skeletonized buttstock, making it equally comfortable for left- or right-handed shooters.
What's the magazine capacity and does it have bolt hold open?
The rifle comes with a 10-round rotary magazine featuring metal feed lips. The magazine has last-round bolt hold open, which locks the bolt back when the final round is fired, making it easy to see when you're empty.
