Wildcat 22

[Guest]

At the present time I have a maurder with a moderator nice gun I wasn't sure about accuracy with pcp's but now it looks good. I want to take the next step which is buy a wildcat i am a purple martin land lord my reason for the gun was to take out the pest birds starlings and sparrows which has worked flawlessly. I do like shooting the gun but want more accuracy so my point. Is it worth waiting for the new wildcat or not the rumors are liner barrel power adjustment and a huma regulator is it worth the price of time to wait ? I don't need a power adjustment or change calibers. the only thing would be the huma regulator which seems to be the ticket for a lot of people next choice would be what kind of moderator. My maurder is pretty quiet the quieter the better for me as not to disturb my purple martins?

Don’t know anything about the wildcat II but rumblings of the smoothtwist barrel. As far as accuracy, don’t know how you can beat the accuracy of today’s wildcat. It’s just lazer accurate. There have been some doing good stuff with the Huma reg, but even most of them say the fx reg is good and don’t fix it if it isn’t broke. My 22 wildcat is factory stock and has over 30K rounds through it with no problems. I have a Huma but won’t install it till it’s needed. One thing to consider. If a new model shows up there will be some good deals on a used wildcat. Plus dealers will discount their new, old stock. Sylvan

Very true about maybe a discount I am pretty patient but in another way anxious for a new toy. do you have a moderator on yours? That's a lot of pellets.

I agree with Kitplanenut, today was the 1st chance I had to shoot in 3 weeks, took my taipan out and shot for 1 hour, 40-100 yds, then same with the w/cat, both great guns, get the wildcat.

I have the WC in 22. I agree, get it. I have had no problems taking ground squirrels out to 65 and 70 yards with it.

A Sumo moderator from DonnyFl will make a .22 WC truely whisper. The WC with that setup makes a Marauder sound loud and at + 30 fpe that is remarkable.

I bought a WC .22 about two weeks ago and frankly I don't see how it could be improved, at least for accuracy. It's is crazy accurate right out of the box, the trigger is fantastic and it handles well. I have 3 sections of FX moderator on mine and it's backyard friendly, for super quiet you could add more sections or a Huggett etc...

I have the DonnyFL Sumo on my 25. It isn't quiet. The Sumo makes it invisible. LOL All I hear is a faint click. And, I don't see how it could be more accurate. Hole in hole is about as good as it gets. Shot mine at 60 yards yesterday and have several targets with 16 shots, all one ragged hole. 

Get the WC

Yep I've got a wildcat 22 I've had about a year and I can shoot the Wings off of flies at 40 yards I just don't know how more accurate X Barrel is going to be and if were going to do anything I'd wait till after shot show and see if the prices drop ..

You will love or hate your WC. The bullpen design is different. That said, it did not take me long to fall in love. I was shooting JSB 18.1s today at about 48 yards making 3/4 inch holes per 8 round magazine. I have found that the group size will shrink if you hold it lightly and don't put a death squeeze on it.
