nice to see the wildcat there, a bit more interesting than the ubiquitous 10/22. How's it shoot for you?

It shoots great for me but I maintain my shit like my life depends on it. But I also work them hard. See comment below.

if I had any need for another 22 semi, it'd probably be the Wildcat. And in general, I say that you dont get to complain about reliability and accuracy if you dont have a decent cleaning routine. You don't need to be absolutely anal about it, but you definitely need to decrust it every brick or so; we're not barbarians.

Also, I find that the more accurate a 22 is, the more it needs a good cleaning regimen. If it's all loose and sloppy, sure, it'll be reliable like a kalashnikov. Accurate like one, too.

I have a buckmark carbine, which is very accurate. But after a 2-brick day of shooting gophers in a dusty field somewhere, reliability noticeably starts to suffer by the end of the day. Still outshoots a 10/22 though :p
