Features Iowa Shooters Will Appreciate
- Easy Cleaning: The lower receiver comes off with a simple push of a button. This makes it easy to get at the bolt and clean carbon buildup, which keeps it running reliably.
- Ambidextrous: The bolt handle, safety, and magazine release can be set up for left or right-handed shooters.
- Optic Ready: A full-length Picatinny rail is already installed on the receiver, so you can quickly add a scope or red dot sight.
- Accurate Barrel: The 18-inch barrel is button-rifled for consistent accuracy, even with some of the less expensive .22 LR ammo.
- Lightweight: At 4.3 pounds, it won’t wear you out carrying it around the field during a squirrel hunt or a day at the range.
Who is this rifle for?
This Winchester Wildcat works well as a low-cost training rifle for those wanting to practice shooting skills. It’s also a good choice for anyone looking for a lightweight .22 for small game hunting around Iowa, or for introducing someone to shooting.
Things to consider
- Trigger: The trigger pull is a bit heavier than some higher-end rifles.
- Stock: The stock doesn't include a cheek rest, so you may need to adjust your shooting position when using a scope.
