Perhaps someone may be interested in the Wildcat. I just took mine to the range for the first time. Paid $240 for it a couple of weeks ago . I used Federal AE 38 gr. hollow point . Copper plated . And some old Federal value pack I got from Walmart many years ago. I shot about 80 rounds before I had to go home .
This little rifle did not have a single problem with feeding or ignition. It is fun to shoot. It shoots as fast as I can pull the trigger and at 25 yards I was pleased with the accuracy. ( Note: I’m not that demanding!) It was as accurate in my hands as my Ruger 10/22 with the black plastic stock that I’ve had for years. I personally like the peep sight. Yes, it’s cheap and seems fragile and yes, it’s hard to get your cheek on the stock when sighting but it did everything my Ruger does after it’s cleaned and lubed. I think I’m going to enjoy having this little rifle . I also used a couple of the Ruger bx25 round mags and they worked as intended.

I found it interesting that they accept ruger 10/22 mags. I favor traditional styling but they look promising.
