RE: T/C Wildcat
I've owned neither rifle but I have handled both, and there is no way it is the same rifle. The Wildcat barrel is shorter, the gun is lighter, the sights not of the same quality, and I would say the Wildcat finish reflects its price. The rifle is so lightweight that I wouldn't recommend any load with much horsepower as it would have to kick like a mule.
All you need do is compare the two rifles side by side and your answer will be immediately evident.
