Winchester Wildcat SR .22 LR 10rd Threaded OD Green

The Winchester Wildcat SR .22 LR 10rd Threaded OD Green is a striker-fired rimfire semi-auto built for shooters who want a lightweight, optics-ready trainer that pulls double duty on small game. Chambered in .22 LR, this rifle pairs a OD Green polymer stock with a matte black receiver, ambi controls, and a threaded muzzle with a knurled thread protector. It ships with one 10-round rotary magazine that locks the bolt back on the last round. MSRP is $279.41, making it one of the most affordable threaded .22 LR rifles on the market for precision practice and plinking.

Key Features

• Striker-Fired Action – Consistent trigger pull every time. Why it matters: No hammer follow or light-strike issues, giving you repeatable break for tighter groups at 50+ yards.
• Threaded Muzzle with Knurled Protector – 1/2×28 threads accept suppressors, compensators, or flash hiders. Why it matters: Run a suppressor without losing zero on your optic, and swap muzzle devices in seconds.
• Ambidextrous Controls – Safety and bolt release on both sides. Why it matters: Left-handed shooters don’t have to break their grip to manipulate the action, saving time on follow-ups.
• Last-Round Bolt Hold-Open – Magazine follower engages the bolt catch when empty. Why it matters: You know exactly when to reload without counting rounds, critical for training drills.
• Integral Picatinny Rail – Machined into the receiver top. Why it matters: No adapter needed; mount your preferred red dot or LPVO directly for a rock-solid zero.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the long-range shooter who wants a rimfire trainer that mimics centerfire ergonomics without the ammo cost. It’s also for the hunter who needs a lightweight small-game rig that can wear a suppressor. If you’re building a .22 LR for precision classes or just want a reliable plinker that doesn’t weigh you down, the Wildcat SR fits.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Lightweight at 4.2 lbs, threaded barrel out of the box, ambi controls for both-handed use, last-round hold-open, and a price that undercuts most threaded .22 LR rifles by $50–$100.

Cons: The polymer stock has a slight flex under heavy bipod load—not ideal for benchrest precision beyond 75 yards. According to Winchester specs, the trigger pull is 5.5 lbs, which is heavier than aftermarket options like a Timney or Geissele drop-in.

FAQ

Does the Winchester Wildcat SR accept standard 10/22 magazines?

No. The Wildcat SR uses a proprietary rotary magazine. It does not cross-compat with Ruger 10/22 or other aftermarket mags. Spare mags are available from Winchester.

Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?

Yes. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 with a knurled thread protector. It’s ready for direct-thread suppressors or QD mounts without adapter.

What optics mount to the integral rail?

Any optic with a Picatinny or Weaver base fits. Common choices are a Vortex Crossfire red dot or a 1-4x LPVO for rimfire use.

Can I adjust the trigger pull weight?

The factory trigger is non-adjustable at 5.5 lbs. Aftermarket drop-in triggers from Timney or Geissele are not available yet for this model, but many shooters find the stock trigger acceptable for training.

Is the OD Green stock replaceable?

Yes. The stock uses standard AR-style buffer tube threads, so you can swap to an aftermarket chassis or adjustable stock if desired.
