Let's not forget that T/C also has a 10/22 varietal out there now. I've only seen one T/C, but it seemed pretty slick. The ejector looked to be a weak spot, though. It looks like that sector is getting pretty crowded. Ruger has, what? 90-100 variations of their own?
The 10/22 is the ultimate, or damn close to the ultimate, modular rifle for a tinkerer to tinker with. With five basic components; action, barrel, bolt, stock, and trigger, being easily swapped out for a plethora of factory and after-market parts that are only limited by the tinkerer's imagination and budget.
I don't wish Winchester any ill will, but I think that this Wildcat is going to have a hard time earning a share of a full market niche.
