Clarity repeatable hold over ability to withstand abuse and still be on zero granted I they work well with hs camera and eagle vision has mount that thread into. It's eye peace i love it for that but they r on the heavy side for sure Someone somewhere said you never find a scope with all the features u want I always exploring light weight scopes so far the lightest is clearidge 3x9x32 12 oz and Ao ten yards to infinity Mildot and great warranty always buying scopes ived learned a lot the hard way

I'm sure I did as soon as AoA start excepting deposits I annied up the cash I'm now paid in full I hear they have 150 coming in the first shipment I don't know if that how many will be 22/25 or 150 of each caliber but most of us addicts diehard and trail blazers will get one a lot of guys been around for long time don't buy the first guns. Instead wait patiently for reveiws since new guns r well new guns and could have design flaws like the original bobcat with that said I doubt fx would let that happen again and feel the wildcat is a safe buy I also have already been online for the impact so should be first on that as well as Americanairarms and Vulcan

I meant to type in line for impact already and I'm aware the Vulcan is already Out at one place and that keysersoze did I fine reveiw on it very thurough it was that reveiw cause I know he knows his stuff let me tell u so I bought it I'm just being patient. And waiting for my new toys to show up have multiple new scopes in boxes I switch them all Arounf I. Various configurations until I satisfied

I talked to AOA and they said they should be getting them in within 2 weeks and they ordered 150 of them and if they only have 75 ready they will ship them just to get them out on the market then make another shipment instead of everyone waiting. I'm hoping that if I'm not on first shipment you all can give good reviews and how to set it up thx .

AOA will keep a portion of the first shipment of 150 rifles and the rest will be allocated to various re-sellers throughout the country. Considering the buzz and hype around the Wildcat, I imagine if you haven't already got a deposit down on one, you'll have to either wait for the next shipment or try your luck contacting every re-seller to see if you can get one from their initial allocation.

Pellethunter: I'm curious - what date did you place your Wildcat order with a deposit? I don't know when pre-orders started being accepted by AoA.

IWA 2015 was from March 6 through 9, 2015, so AoA must have started taking WC orders at the end of IWA.

Does anyone else want to share on how they are setting up their Wildcat ? I'm still looking for a good scope and rings combination to fit their rail.

I'll be putting a BSA MIL-MIL 4-14x44 on mine - http://www.midwayusa.com/product/456482/bsa-tactical-mil-mil-rifle-scope-30mm-tube-4-14x-44mm-side-focus-1-10-mil-adjustments-first-focal-mrad-reticle-matte It's hard to find a FFP scope for that low of a price. I've got 2 of them and am happy with them.
The rail looks to be a standard dovetail rail. If you're asking about the length, it's tough to tell exactly. 8 inches? (guess)

Tom, I like the looks of that BSA scope. I don't have any experience with BSA products. Is its parallax adjustment 50 yards to infinity?
