Winchester Wildcat

[NWF007]

Auto bolt hold open with Winchester mag, cleaning hole in rear and tear down is a bit easier (maybe). Other than that, it's just something different.

Mine was like that ..
Give it a good clean/lube .

Super fast cleaning on the winchester due to the quick release and easy access rodding the barrel.

I'm not gonna spend precision scopes or beyond the wildcats present class. Its just a to go rifle for me.
My 2 cents is if Winchester comes out a similar design with the wildcat using aluminum and steel parts, 100% I'll buy one. The innovation of the wildcat is like advanced or next level upgrade of the 10/22's.

Will a Wildcat mag work in a 10/22?

I was looking for a some wildcat proprietary extended magazines to try it out on a 10/22 and there are none besides the stock 10 rounds magazine that I still haven't tried firing in the Ruger yet.
But in case someone is interested to know that any original Ruger 10/22 magazines will fire in the wildcat. That goes with the Ruger aftermarket magazines including the failures have more chance firing consistently with the wildcat. The physical outer difference between the two are the Ruger magazine slips on 2 corners which is the front and back while the wildcat sits on 4.
