Winchester Repeating Arms introduces the Wildcat, a striker-fired autoloading rimfire rifle that is a snap to clean because its lower receiver is easily removed from the upper with a push of a button; then hunters punch the bore by merely insert a cleaning rod through the rifle's rear access port, protecting the crown. Its 10-round rotary magazine ejects right into your hand with a push of an ambidextrous release tab—and it accepts aftermarket 10/22 magazines. Other features include an integral Picatinny top rail and another rail section along its underside, adjustable ghost-ring rear sight and button-rifled barrel. MSRP: $249.99; winchesterguns.com.
