Winchester Wildcat SR | .22 LR | 16.5″ Threaded | 521170102

The Winchester Wildcat Shadow SR is a semi-automatic .22 Long Rifle autoloader built around a polymer receiver and a precision button-rifled 16.5″ barrel with 1/2×28 threads for suppressor readiness. It features an integral Picatinny rail, ambidextrous controls, and a fixed polymer stock for durable, low-weight handling. This configuration suits high-volume rimfire practice, small-bore target work, and small-game field use; a compact low- to mid-power scope pairs well.

Recommended optic: Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 — a versatile rimfire scope under $1000 that balances eye relief, low-light performance, and mounting flexibility for the Wildcat’s rail.
