The Wildcat is another fine addition to the FX line of rifles..  It does not have the traditional rifle shape but nevertheless it is comfortable to hold and shoot. It is a good choice for the shooters who prefer a shorter  length rifle.

The first thing a shooter will notice is that the Wildcat looks very similar to the FX Bobcat. And we've already had calls from shooters asking what the differences are between the Bobcat MkII and the new Wildcat.  And there are a few differences that separate it from the Bobcat MkII although the power and performance are almost identical.  I'll list them here so it will be easy to see the differences and similarities.
DIFFERENCES:
1) The Wildcat's cocking lever is placed farther forward making for a little more natural arm motion when cocking. One quickly discovers that it isn't necessary to remove one's head from the stock to cock either rifle. A shooter can keep his head in the shooting position and quickly and easily cock the rifle for the next shot.
2) The Wildcat does not have slots in the butte for storing extra magazines as the Bobcat does.
3) The Wildcat has an air gauge in the front of the air tube but does not have the dual gauges on the butte that the Bobcat has which show air pressure in the gun's tank and the regulator as well. However both guns are regulated.
4) The Wildcat is a bit shorter and has a smaller body than the Bobcat.
5) The Wildcat magazine is a standard wheel with no outer covering. The Wildcat will be quicker and easier to reload by simply pushing pellets into the magazine holes. Conversely, the Bobcat magazine loads differently than the Wildcat and other rotary type magazines. Shooters that may have had other rifles with rotary magazines will quickly notice that unlike other rotary magazines, on the Bobcat the first pellet is loaded from the backside of the magazine by inserting the pellet skirt first rather than head first. That "locks" the magazine and the magazine outer cover is then turned around and the rest of the pellets are loaded head first in the traditional way from the front side.  It sounds a bit strange but actually works quite well.
6) The Wildcat is a fixed power rifle. The Bobcat has a power wheel for changing the power settings basically from low to medium to high power. 
SIMILARITIES:
1) Both guns are very quiet for the power level.   
2) The power level is almost the same in both rifles give or take 1 fpe or so. Look over our results and you'll quickly see that both air rifles have more than enough power for any hunting situation in .22 or .25 caliber.
3) Both rifles have a similar and comfortable feel to shoot when in the shooting position.
4) For pest control and hunting, shooters will have to take both air rifles very seriously because they will both certainly get the job done very efficiently. We were pleasantly impressed with the Wildcat and the Bobcat overall. Both are guns for the hunters without a doubt. While you can certainly plink and target shoot with either rifle, they are designed primarily as hunters and it certainly will perform that task well.

Bottom line is that both guns are similar in power and performance. However, the Wildcat would be the choice for shooters that want the power and performance without paying for the additional bells and whistles of the Bobcat. Conversely, the Bobcat would be the choice for the shooters that want the extra bells and whistles that the Bobcat offers. It's nice to have both options to choose from.
