    any opinions on winchester wildcat 22lr?

    I'm considering another semi auto 22 for farm work. Winchester wildcat sound good, and the one I held in guncity a few months back felt light and handy. I also like the aperture sights for farm work, and that they fit 10/22 mags. Anyone had any experience with these?

    I do not have any experience with the semi auto wildcat, but they also used the Winchestor wildcat branding on a bolt action a couple years back, and it was a rebranded Toz 78-10 which is actually a pretty good gun. It looked like Winchestor was charging $100 extra for the branding work and they did not even bother to take the Toz branding off, they just put the winchestor branding on the other side.....

    I did have a quick peek at the semi in GC. It did not look too bad, but I am not a huge fan of semi auto 22s. Nothing against them (before the haters start) it is just they dont really fit with my style of shooting.

    I understand they are a Toz, probably make a good workhorse , YouTube has opinions and reviews on them.

    I think the semi is a winchester in house rifle designed from scratch. But it shares the name with the B/A wildcat which is a Toz.
