Key Features
Precision Barrel and Integrated Optics Platform
The 18-inch precision button-rifled barrel is free-floated to optimize harmonic stability, contributing to repeatable accuracy. This design mitigates external forces, ensuring consistent projectile stabilization. Mated to the receiver is a Picatinny optics rail, allowing for direct attachment of magnified or red dot sight systems to enhance target acquisition and engagement across diverse scenarios.
Optimized Ergonomics and Modularity
The gray synthetic stock is designed for a secure, comfortable hold, promoting shooter interface and control. An integrated accessory rail on the forend facilitates the rapid attachment of mission-critical components such as tactical lights, laser aiming devices, or bipods, expanding the rifle’s operational versatility. The skeletonized stock design effectively reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity, optimizing balance and handling characteristics.
Robust Construction and Reliable Cycling

Its blowback action is meticulously tuned for reliable function with a broad spectrum of .22 LR ammunition, minimizing stoppages and maximizing time on target.
Simplified Field Maintenance
Engineered for efficient field stripping and routine cleaning, the Wildcat features a unique push-button mechanism that rapidly separates the receiver from the stock. This design grants unimpeded, direct access to the bolt, trigger group, and bore for thorough and uncomplicated maintenance, ensuring peak operational readiness.
