My buddy got a great deal on a winchester wildcat, its a suppressor ready model (not that we'll ever be able to own one) but its a great lightweight semiauto .22, I believe it can use ruger mags too

The Wildcat just feels like a blatant copy of the 10/22 when you fist pick it up, because it obviously is.

But Damn, do they shoot nice, cycle well, and are they ever light. Not customizable like it's granddaddy, but good enough out of the box!

Right??? If you aren't looking ti customize it, I see the argument to buy a non Ruger 10/22 and save a hundred bucks or so.

When we are talking 200 vs 300 bucks, like that's a big percentage, a 50% increase in price  or a 33% decrease in price depending on which number you start with
