Wildcat Panther

The Wildcat Panther .22 is a premium, over-the-barrel (reflex) sound moderator designed by Wildcat Moderators specifically for high-performance rimfire and small centrefire rifles. It bridges the gap between ultra-light rimfire cans and heavy centrefire moderators, handling any round using up to 20 grains of powder.

Key Technical Specifications

• Weight: 221 grams.
• Total Length: 166 mm.
• Added Rifle Length: 98 mm to 113 mm (due to its over-barrel design shifting weight back).
• Over-Barrel Depth: 53 mm sleeve depth.
• Diameter: 37.5 mm.
• Thread Options: Standard 1/2" UNF and 1/2" UNEF.
• Materials: Premium grade aluminium and stainless steel components.

Calibre Compatibility

While optimized as a top-tier .22 LR and .22 WMR moderator, its rugged engineering makes it safe for several small-capacity cartridges.

• Rimfire: .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR.
• Centrefire: .17 Hornet, .17 Fireball, .20 Vartarg, and .22 Hornet.
• Warning: Do not use the Panther on high-power centrefires like .222 or .223 Remington.

Main Features & Advantages

• Optimized Balance: The reflex design sleeves back over the barrel by 53mm, minimizing muzzle flip and keeping the rifle compact.
• Superior Suppression: Features a scaled-down version of Wildcat's signature internal primary gas diffuser baffle taken from their larger centrefire models.
• Easy Maintenance: Strips down completely into three modular component parts for easy cleaning with a brush.
• Weatherproof Finish: Coated in a matte, textured black finish to reduce sun glare and improve handling grip.
