Awesome. I think your the only other owner of the Defiant that I am aware of. I sometimes wonder why someone would choose the Wildcat over the Defiant. I would bet they are equally as accurate, but the Defiant coming in as a few hundred dollars cheaper.
I have both the Wildcat Mk III and the Defiant, (among others).
They are on the opposite ends of the weight scale. The Defiant being on the heavy side, the Wildcat being on the light side. Wildcat wins.
Depending...on "where" you buy the Defiant...it "may be" cheaper. The normal asking price for the Defiant is higher than the Wildcat. THAT...being the case, I'd go the Wildcat every time. Wildcat wins
I don't know the exact accuracy of either as I shoot offhand, and yea, in this case, I can shoot both pretty equally. BUT...reread my post above. No winner, mostly equal.
The trigger on my...Defiant has a lot of friction in the mount that it's in, so the overall pull is a "little" tight. If I had a hand full of very thin teflon shims, I could fix the problem, but It's not a big enough deal to rip everything apart to fix (right now). The Wildcats trigger is VERY nice straight from the factory. The Wildcat wins..
The stock on the Defiant looks like it was designed by two people. The front half...a gun stock artist, the back half a bridge maker. The Wildcat stock is nice, front to rear. The Defiants, "black pepper" stock (above) is really nice looking. Overall, the Wildcat wins.
The Defiant has an 11mm dovetail scope/sight rail...WHY? Need to buy adapter to mount real optics. The Wildcat has a Weaver-Picatinny, a bit more up to modern standards. Wildcat wins.
Would I sell my Defiant, no, I like it. But, obviously my Wildcat Mk III also has a permanent home.
