The other rimfire rifle I shot was worlds away from the Wildcat, and that was the Browning T-Bolt. This sweet little popper has a straight-pull bolt, which makes for very easy - and fast - chambering of ammo. Ammo feed was flawless and very smooth, and the magazine itself is innovative.
The T-bolt features a modified rotary magazine that loads ten rounds in an "S" shape (Browning calls it a Double Helix). Call it what you want, it's cool - and it means the magazine doesn't protrude down below the level of the stock. It also has a handy little notched wheel to assist in loading the magazine - you use it to relieve the spring pressure. All in all, a very nice rifle that should enjoy a long and fun-filled future.
